Study on magnetization dynamics modulated by spin-orbit-torque in a Ni81Fe19/NiO/Ni81Fe19 multilayered wire

As electrical control of magnetization dynamics opens the door to realize spintronic devices, understanding the microscopic mechanisms of spin current transport and its effect through the antiferromagnetic and interface is crucial. We studied magnetization dynamics modulated by the spin current originated from the spin-orbit-torque using the rectifying planar Hall effect (PHE). In Ni81Fe19/NiO/Ni81Fe19 heterostructure wire deposited on Pt/Ta cross-tie electrode, we measured the rectifying PHE as a function of external magnetic field angle and dc electric current. By measuring the electrical responses of the heterostructure system, we found that the magnetization dynamics can be modulated by the dc electric current flowing through the Pt/Ta electrode.
