Rare-earth-free Mn-based binary alloy L10-MnAl with bulk perpendicular magnetic anisotropy(PMA)holds promise for high-performance magnetic random access memory(MRAM)devices driven by spin-orbit torque(SOT).However,the lattice-mismatch issue makes it challenging to place conventional spin current sources,such as heavy metals,between L10-MnAl layers and substrates.In this work,we propose a solution by using the B2-CoGa alloy as the spin current source.The lattice-matching enables high-quality epitaxial growth of 2-nm-thick L10-MnAl on B2-CoGa,and the L10-MnAl exhibits a large PMA constant of 1.04 × 106 J/m3.Subsequently,the considerable spin Hall effect in B2-CoGa enables the achievement of SOT-induced deterministic magnetization switching.Moreover,we quantitatively determine the SOT efficiency in the bilayer.Furthermore,we design an L10-MnAl/B2-CoGa/Co2MnGa structure to achieve field-free magnetic switching.Our results provide valuable insights for achieving high-performance SOT-MRAM devices based on L10-MnAl alloy.
