Abstract [en]

Pulsed current-induced magnetization reversal is investigated in the layer of (Ga,Mn)(Bi,As) dilute ferromagnetic semiconductor (DFS) epitaxially grown under tensile misfit strain causing perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in the layer. The magnetization reversal, recorded through measurements of the anomalous Hall effect, appearing under assistance of a static magnetic field parallel to the current, is interpreted in terms of the spin-orbit torque mechanism. Our results demonstrate that an addition of a small fraction of heavy Bi atoms, substituting As atoms in the prototype DFS (Ga,Mn)As and increasing the strength of spin-orbit coupling in the DFS valence band, significantly enhances the efficiency of current-induced magnetization reversal thus reducing considerably the threshold current density necessary for the reversal. Our findings are of technological importance for applications to spin-orbit torque-driven nonvolatile memory and logic elements. Published under an exclusive license by AIP Publishing.
