Spin-orbit torques acting upon a perpendicularly magnetized Py layer
We show that Py, a commonly used soft ferromagnetic material with weak anisotropy, can become perpendicularly magnetized while depositing on a Ta buffer layer with Hf or Zr insertion layers (ILs) and an MgO capping layer. By using two different approaches, namely, harmonic voltage measurement and hy...
