Unlike existing schemes, where the SOT is passively determined by the material and device structures, an active manipulation of the intrinsic SOT polarity would allow for flexibly programmable SOT devices. Achieving this requires electrical control of the current-induced spin polarization of the spin source. Here we demonstrate a proof-of-concept current-programmed SOT device. Using a noncollinear-antiferromagnetic/nonmagnetic/ferromagnetic Mn3Sn/Mo/CoFeB heterostructure at zero magnetic field, we show current-induced switching in the CoFeB layer due to the spin current polarized by the magnetic structure of the Mn3Sn; by properly tuning the driving current, the spin current from the CoFeB further reverses the magnetic orientation of the Mn3Sn, which determines the polarity of the subsequent switching of the CoFeB. This scheme of mutual\r\n witching can be achieved in a spin-valve-like simple protocol because each magnetic layer serves as a reversible spin source and target magnetic electrode. It yields intriguing proof-of-concept functionalities for unconventional logic and neuromorphic computing." description_type: abstract lang: en ## Creator - name: Ju-Young Yoon role: author - name: Yutaro Takeuchi role: author orcid: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5031-1347 organization: National Institute for Materials Science - name: Ryota Takechi role: author - name: Jiahao Han role: author - name: Tomohiro Uchimura role: author - name: Yuta Yamane role: author - name: Shun Kanai role: author - name: Jun’ichi Ieda role: author - name: Hideo Ohno role: author - name: Shunsuke Fukami role: author ## Contact agent ## Publisher organization: Springer Science and Business Media LLC ## Managing organization ## Keyword - subject: spintronics schema: not_defined - subject: spin-orbit torque schema: not_defined - subject: antiferromagnet schema: not_defined ## Rights - description: "This article is licensed under a Creative Commons\r\nAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License,\r\nwhich permits any non-commercial use, sharing, distribution and\r\nreproduction in any medium or format, as long as you give appropriate\r\ncredit to the original author(s) and the source, provide a link to the\r\nCreative Commons licence, and indicate if you modified the licensed\r\nmaterial.
