Abstract
- Electrical manipulation of magnetization states has been the subject of intense focus as it is a long-standing goal in the emerging field of spintronics. In particular, torque generated by an in-plane current with a strong spin-orbit interaction shows promise for control of the adjacent ferromagnetic state in heavy-metal/ferromagnet/oxide frames. Thus, the ability to unlock precise spin orbit torque-driven effective fields represents one of the key approaches in this work. Here, we address an in-plane direct current measurement approach as a generic alternative tool to identify spin orbit torque-driven effective fields in a full polar angle range without adopting the commonly used harmonic analyses. Our experimental results exhibited a strongly polar angular dependency of the spin orbit torque-driven effective fields observed from Ta or W/CoFeM/MgO frames.
