Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the technical field of synthetic antiferromagnet domain wall oscillation dynamics, and particularly relates to a synthetic antiferromagnet domain wall oscillation simulation system. BACKGROUND

[0002] A synthetic antiferromagnet (SAF) is a structure system based on a nanometer-scale thin film stack. With the interlayer exchange coupling effect of the nanometer magnetic thin film, the magnetization directions of adjacent ferromagnetic layers are arranged in an anti-parallel manner, and the characteristics similar to natural antiferromagnets are exhibited on the macro level. A typical SAF structure comprises two ferromagnetic layers and a non-magnetic spacer layer. The ferromagnetic layer can be made of cobalt, nickel, iron or alloy. These materials have strong magnetism, and the internal magnetic moments tend to align in the same direction like small magnets. The non-magnetic spacer layer is usually very thin, with a thickness of about 1 nanometer, and is usually made of metals such as ruthenium, chromium and iridium. The non-magnetic spacer layer plays a key role in realizing the antiferromagnetic coupling. With the superfast dynamic characteristics, the synthetic antiferromagnet has attracted much attention in the field of high-frequency device applications, and has become a potential candidate material for the next generation of high-frequency spin electronic devices. The study of the influence of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) and spin-orbit torque (SOT) on the oscillation frequency shows that when the effective field of DMI acting on the lower layer and the upper layer shows significant difference, and the effective field of damping-like (DL) SOT remains close, a higher oscillation frequency can be obtained. In addition, introducing multiple inversion asymmetry in the SAF to generate a field-like (FL) SOT effective field in the vertical direction (z direction) can further improve the frequency. These insights into the domain wall (DW) oscillation dynamics provide new ideas and methods for developing high-frequency signal devices based on SAF.

[0003] At present, the oscillation simulation system of the traditional synthetic antiferromagnet usually adopts a macro spin model, that is, the two magnetic layers in the SAF are regarded as uniform magnetic domains for research, and the spatial variation of the magnetization intensity in the domain wall transition region, i.e. the domain wall, is often ignored. However, when the domain wall chirality of a magnetic layer in the SAF is broken, there is a lack of accurate model to analyze the oscillation and precession state of the magnetic moment in the domain wall region of the SAF.

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0017] Please see Figure 1 The present invention provides a system for simulating domain wall oscillations of synthesized antiferromagnets, comprising a synthesized antiferromagnet, a coupling analysis module, and an oscillation simulation module; Synthetic antiferromagnets contain an upper magnetic layer Non-magnetic spacer layer and lower magnetic layer Separated by non-magnetic spacers, the upper magnetic layer and lower magnetic layer The magnetic moments in the composite antiferromagnet exhibit an antiparallel coupling state. Different magnetization directions lead to the formation of domain walls in the composite antiferromagnet. Domain walls represent the transition regions where the magnetization direction changes.

By solving the domain wall dynamics, the angle at any given moment can be determined. Lower, lower magnetic layer domain wall azimuth upper magnetic layer In and the lower magnetic layer and the upper magnetic layer Collective velocity of coupled domain walls ; See Figure 2 (b) and Figure 2 (c), the domain wall azimuthal angle and the domain wall velocity in SAF are calculated under the condition of applying a magnetic field along the direction, the adopted SAF parameters include: the magnetization and , the interlayer exchange coupling strength , the interface DMI effective field and , the effective field of damping-type SOT caused by spin polarization along the direction and , the domain wall demagnetization field ; See Figure 2 (b) and Figure 2 (c), , and stabilize within 0.1 ns, defining the steady state of the domain wall. However, increasing the magnetic field to , see Figure 2 (d), triggers a significant dynamic change, exhibiting periodic oscillation within a limited amplitude, while undergoes continuous 360° precession, both with the same frequency. The oscillation of in the following magnetic layer and the precession of in the upper magnetic layer are characterized, which are called the oscillation state of the domain wall. and The oscillation dynamics drive the periodic change of , see Figure 2 (e), the shaded area and the dashed line in the figure, the average velocity of the domain wall in the oscillation state is obtained by integrating over periods , ;

[0018] Unlike the conventional macrospin coherent oscillation in the single domain of SAF, the one-dimensional domain wall model of synthetic antiferromagnet reveals the local oscillation and precession of magnetic moments in the domain wall region, accompanied by the periodic change of velocity. Comparing Figure 2 (b), Figure 2 (c), Figure 2 (d) and Figure 2(e) shows that the transition of the domain wall from a steady state to an oscillating state is related to the applied magnetic field. related;

[0019] Please see Figure 3 (a) and Figure 3 (b) will follow Apply magnetic field in direction Increase to and Please see Figure 3 (c) and The time evolution shows that, although the oscillation frequency is related to Figure 2 (d) is different, but the domain walls still maintain their oscillating state. However, [the text abruptly ends here, likely due to an incomplete sentence or a formatting error.] Slightly increased to This will trigger a sudden transition of the domain walls from an oscillating state to a steady state. Figure 2 (b) Figure 2 (d) Figure 3 (a) and Figure 3 (c) indicates that, with As the amplitude increases, the domain wall undergoes a series of state transitions, first from a steady state to an oscillating state, and then back to a steady state;

For the scope, please refer to Figure 3 (d) The domain wall state before the oscillation begins is denoted as state "1", and the state after it ends is denoted as state "2". The oscillation occurs during the transition between states "1" and "2", and the two states are schematically illustrated. and orientation;

[0021] exist In state "1", the domain wall is in a steady state. , ,exist In state "2", , ,along with along The directional amplitude increased, and two key changes occurred: the lower magnetic layer azimuth exist and along the same Directional DMI effective field Under the combined effect, it gradually deviated further from the direction. Direction, upper magnetic layer The domain walls underwent a transformation. along In terms of direction, Gradually overcoming the DMI effective field in the opposite direction, leading to From the levorotatory nervate type ( ) transforms into a pure Bloch type ( ), eventually transforming into the chiral-broken Nell type (9) The upper domain walls underwent a transformation from the Nell type to the Bloch type and back to the Nell type; This series of transformations involves the combined effects of the applied magnetic field, the effective field of the DMI, the interlayer exchange coupling field, the effective field of the SOT, and the domain wall demagnetization field. These interactions destabilize the upper domain wall state, manifesting as... The precession of [something]. In contrast, [something] has a greater magnetization. And the lower domain walls of stronger DMI, and The directions are consistent; therefore, although in an unstable transition state induced by the precession of the upper domain walls, the lower domain walls only exhibit... The results show finite azimuth oscillations, rather than complete 360° precession, clarifying that the oscillatory behavior of domain walls in SAFs originates from chiral breaking of the upper domain walls and the Nell-Bloch-Nell transition.

Figure 3 (e) will Scan range extended At that time, the magnetization of the domain walls will rotate to match... ( (Direction) alignment, i.e. , Approaching 0° or 180°;

[0022] Please see Figure 3 (f) Oscillations and precession of the domain wall azimuth angle can significantly alter the domain wall velocity, as shown in the figure. Within the range, the domain wall velocity in SAF varies with the applied magnetic field. The domain wall velocity decreases significantly in the magnetic field region where the domain wall is in an oscillating state. Within this region, the domain wall velocity exhibits oscillations. Figure 2 (e) Time-averaged velocity Based on the analysis of domain wall azimuth angles, this velocity reduction can be attributed to the reciprocating motion of the domain walls and the interaction between the lower and upper domain walls through interlayer exchange coupling, a phenomenon known as "chiral exchange drag". Figure 3 (f) shows a wider range of magnetic fields. Within a domain wall, under large positive and negative magnetic fields, the domain wall velocities are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction, reflecting the applied magnetic field. The general effect on domain wall velocity; It is determined that the domain wall oscillation and precession in SAF occurs in the process of the upper domain wall transforming between Neel type and Bloch type, which is essentially the competition between DMI effective field and applied magnetic field, therefore, the DMI effective field in the lower magnetic layer and the upper magnetic layer will be further studied and the influence on the domain wall oscillation state, in the SAF structure, due to the larger saturation magnetization , DMI effective field and SOT effective field , the lower magnetic layer occupies the dominant position, first fix the DMI effective field of the lower layer , change the field of the upper layer to investigate their influence on the domain wall state, as shown in Figure 2 (a), the left-handed Neel type domain wall (usually formed at the Pt / Co interface) has a "↑←↓" configuration in the lower magnetic layer , the DMI effective field in this layer points to direction, meaning is negative, on the contrary, the domain wall in the upper magnetic layer has a "↓→↑" configuration, and its DMI effective field points to direction, meaning is positive, the subsequent calculation will only focus on the size of the DMI effective field, and the positive and negative signs are omitted; Please refer to Figure 4 (a) and Figure 4 (b) to illustrate the dependence of the domain wall state on when a relatively small (size ) is fixed, for this small , no matter is 200 Oe ( Figure 4 (a)) or 2800 Oe ( Figure 4 (b)), the domain wall remains stable, without oscillation or precession, however, when increases to 1600 Oe in Figure 4 (c), even if is small (200 Oe), domain wall oscillation and precession will occur. Fixing at 1600 Oe and further increasing reveals a clear trend that as rises from 200 Oe to 1800 Oe ( Figure 4 (d)) and 2400 Oe ( Figure 4 (e)), the domain wall is still in an oscillation state, but the frequency increases with Figure 4(c) Compared to gradually decreasing. Specifically, frequency It dropped from 9.79 GHz to 5.84 GHz, and then to 2.89 GHz. It's worth noting that... Figure 4 In (f), Increasing the value further to 2600 Oe will stop the oscillations and precession, allowing the domain walls to return to a steady state. In summary, Figure 4 (c) and Figure 4 (f) illustrates a series of changes: the onset of oscillation and precession, the decrease in oscillation frequency, and the eventual cessation of oscillation, indicating that for a fixed, sufficiently large... ,along with As the value increases, the oscillation frequency monotonically decreases from its maximum value to its minimum value, eventually leading to a return to steady state.

[0023] Please see Figure 4 (g) Based on the established domain wall state evolution and the effective field of DMI in the SAF structure and The relationship between them was further studied in the context of fixed...

Key observations include: for all Value, with The frequency exhibits the same maximum value ( ) as the change occurs. 9.80GHz) and minimum value ( 2.05GHz), for a given Frequency varies Increases and monotonically decreases, when When large enough, the domain walls remain in a steady state;

[0024] Please see Figure 4 (h) Comprehensive visualization of domain wall state and oscillation frequency and The graph shows the dependency relationship between the oscillation frequencies. The contour map reveals the following features: Steady-state region: when At 880 Oe, the domain walls are in a steady state; Oscillation region: when At 880 Oe, domain wall oscillations occur, and the oscillation frequency increases with... Increase and decrease; Frequency decay rate: frequency decreases with frequency The rate of decrease increases with Increase and slow down; Frequency extremes: regardless of and Regardless of the value, the oscillation frequency maintains a definite maximum value. 9.80 GHz) and a minimum (2.05 GHz); 2.05 GHz); Figure 4 The six black triangles in (h) correspond to Figure 4 (a) Figure 2 The domain wall state depicted in (f), with eight dashed lines corresponding to Figure 5 The frequency variation shown by the eight curves in (g) is a result of the inherent competition between the effective DMI fields in the two antiferromagnetically coupled layers. The lower magnetic layer is dominated by the dynamics in response to the applied magnetic field and the interlayer exchange coupling with the upper magnetic layer The DMI field favors a specific domain wall chirality and is aligned with the applied magnetic field direction, mainly modulating the oscillation frequency. In contrast, the DMI field in the upper layer is opposite to the direction due to the SAF structure and interface asymmetry, thus exerting an opposite effect. With the increase of , it gradually stabilizes the domain wall configuration in the upper magnetic layer , resisting the oscillation drive from the applied magnetic field. This counter-stabilization hinders the Néel-Bloch transition of the upper layer domain wall, which is the underlying process of oscillation and precession. Therefore, the oscillation frequency decreases with the counter-torque from lowering the domain wall oscillation rate. When becomes strong enough to pin the domain wall in the upper magnetic layer , locking it in a static configuration against the driving force from the lower magnetic layer and the applied magnetic field, the dynamics completely stop. The existence of a universal frequency limit indicates an intrinsic driving mechanism mainly governed by the interlayer exchange coupling within the SAF structure and SOT. The contour plot clearly illustrates how large and small increase the oscillation frequency of the SAF system in the oscillation region;

[0025] Although the DMI effective field mainly dominates the domain wall type and chirality, the SOT effective field drives the domain wall motion, thus the effect of the SOT effective field on the domain wall dynamics and oscillation frequency will be further investigated. First, consider the damping-type SOT effective field—generated through the spin Hall effect—where a current propagating along induces a polarized spin current propagating along direction (as shown in the coordinate definition in the SAF structure in Figure 5 (a));

[0026] Referring to Figure 5 (a), the effective field in the lower magnetic layer Below, domain wall oscillation frequency With the upper magnetic layer of Changes, superscript middle, Indicates a damped SOT. express Directional spin polarization, key observations include: For fixed The frequency increases with The increase first increases and then decreases; Larger Value at Higher start and maximum frequencies are generated during scanning; The minimum frequency before the oscillation stops in all The following are the same ( 1.56GHz, such as Figure 5 (a) As shown by the red dashed line); when (like Figure 5 (a) When the blue dashed line is shown, the frequency reaches its peak value; Please see Figure 5 (b) further demonstrates that the oscillation frequency varies with and A changing contour map.

Figure 5 (a) and Figure 5 (b) indicates that when and Keep about The maximum oscillation frequency occurs when the difference between their amplitudes is relatively close.

[0027] Please see Figure 5 (d) To further improve the domain wall oscillation frequency, a field-type SOT effective field was introduced. superscript Indicates field type SOT, express Directional spin polarization. This form of SOT component is derived from... Directional spin polarization can be generated in SAF structures. - This is achieved using inclined geometry in a plane.

[0028] Please see Figure 6(c) Applying additional field type SOT effective field (in It can generate an oscillation frequency of 40.9 GHz, compared to the baseline configuration without a field type SOT field (only applying...). and There was a significant improvement. For example... ​ As shown in (d), the frequency varies with Increase and increase, in It reaches 105.2 GHz. In this tilted SAF structure, Effectively served as an additional The directional magnetic field causes the oscillation frequency to increase approximately linearly with its amplitude.

[0029] The above calculations demonstrate an important dual mechanism for modulating the domain wall oscillation frequency through the effective field of the SOT. For the damped SOT component, when the effective field... and When closely matched, the oscillation frequency reaches its maximum value. The observed interval between them is approximately... The difference may originate from the effective field of the SOT and the applied magnetic field ( The matching between these parameters leads to the optimal domain wall dynamic response at this specific field strength. Furthermore, the minimum frequency ( The presence of 1.56 GHz indicates the fundamental dynamic frequency dominated by the antiferromagnetic coupling field within the SAF. For the field-mode SOT components, they can overcome the frequency limitation imposed by the damped SOT. Equivalent to a vertical magnetic field, it enables linear frequency increases. The combined effect of damped and field-type SOTs highlights the SOT's ability to manipulate domain wall frequencies in multiple degrees of freedom. The former primarily controls domain wall motion, while the latter provides an equivalent external magnetic field to break symmetry. Their synergistic effect has the potential to achieve wide frequency tunability from GHz to THz;

[0030] In SAF, domain wall oscillations and precession occur during the transition of upper domain wall chirality breaking, at which point it switches between the Nell and Bloch configurations. Proving that high-frequency dynamics requires two key conditions:

[0031] Significant differences in the effective field of DMI ( ,and ) and the close matching of the effective field of the damped SOT in the lower and upper layers ( Under these conditions, through a sufficiently large It can achieve frequencies up to 22.3 GHz, while the lowest frequency ( (1.56GHz) is limited by inherent inter-layer switching coupling;

[0032] Crucially, it reveals the introduction of multiple inversion asymmetries. Directional field pattern SOT effective field The frequency control can be significantly enhanced. This component acts as a tunable vertical field, which, in combination with the SOT effect, achieves linear frequency scaling up to 105.2 GHz, which is a way to THz operation. These results not only elucidate the key role of chiral symmetry breaking in the dynamics of domain walls beyond the macrospin approximation, but also provide practical strategies for designing high-frequency domain wall oscillators based on SAF by deliberately manipulating the DMI asymmetry, SOT synergy, and broken-symmetry geometry;

[0033] Please refer to ​ , using the domain wall oscillation effect in SAF, the application designs a new type of high-frequency signal generator, simulates a SAF ring structure, and uses pinning sites to generate multiple domain walls therein. By applying a current to drive these domain walls to move along the ring structure, the domain walls will simultaneously oscillate during the movement, thereby generating stable signal output. The advantage of the device is that the signal output power and device integration can be improved by increasing the number of domain walls, making it more practical and having application prospects.

[0034] The above formulas are obtained by collecting a large amount of data for software simulation and selecting a formula close to the true value. The coefficients in the formula are set by those skilled in the art according to the actual situation.
