Electrical Spin State Manipulation in All-Magnet Heterojunctions Using a Ferromagnetic Spin Source

The ability to electrically manipulate spin states in magnetic materials isessential for the advancement of energy-efficient spintronic device, which istypically achieved in systems composed of a spin source and a magnetictarget, where the magnetic state of the target is altered by a charge current。While theories suggest that ferromagnets could function as more versatilespin sources, direct experimental studies involving only the spin source andtarget layers have been lacking。 Here electrical manipulation of spin states innoncolinear antiferromagnet Mn_3Sn using ferromagnets (Ni, Fe, NiFe, CoFeB)as the spin sources is reported。 Both field-free switching and switching withan assistive field are achieved in Mn3Sn/ferromagnet bilayers, where theswitching polarity correlates with the sign of anomalous Hall effect of theferromagnets。 The experimental findings can be accounted for by thepresence of spin currents arising from spin-dependent scattering within theferromagnets。 This finding provides valuable insights into the underlyingmechanisms of spin-conversion in ferromagnets, offering an alternative spinsource for novel technological applications。
