Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of synthetic antiferromagnetic domain wall oscillation dynamics technology, specifically to a synthetic antiferromagnetic domain wall oscillation simulation system. Background Technology
[0002] Synthetic antiferromagnets (SAFs) are structural systems based on stacked artificial nanoscale thin films. Utilizing the interlayer exchange coupling effect of the nanomagnetic films, the magnetization directions of adjacent ferromagnetic layers align antiparallel, thus exhibiting macroscopic properties similar to natural antiferromagnets. A typical SAF structure consists of two ferromagnetic layers and a non-magnetic spacer layer. The ferromagnetic layers can be made of cobalt, nickel, iron, or alloys; these materials possess strong magnetism, and their internal magnetic moments tend to align in the same direction like tiny compass needles. The non-magnetic spacer layer is typically extremely thin, about 1 nanometer, and is often made of metals such as ruthenium, chromium, or iridium. The non-magnetic spacer layer plays a crucial role in achieving antiferromagnetic coupling. Due to their ultrafast dynamic characteristics, synthetic antiferromagnets have attracted considerable attention in high-frequency device applications and have become a highly promising candidate material for next-generation high-frequency spintronic devices. Studies on the effects of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) and spin-orbit torque (SOT) on the oscillation frequency show that the effective fields of the DMI applied to the lower and upper layers exhibit significant differences, while higher oscillation frequencies can be obtained by keeping the damping-like (DL) SOT effective fields close to each other. Furthermore, introducing multiple inversion asymmetries into the SAF to generate a field-like (FL) SOT effective field in the vertical direction (z-direction) can further enhance this frequency. These insights into the oscillation dynamics of domain walls (DW) provide new ideas and methods for developing SAF-based high-frequency signal devices.
[0003] Currently, conventional simulation systems for the oscillations of synthetic antiferromagnets (SAFs) typically employ macro-spin models, treating the two magnetic layers in the SAF as uniform magnetic domains. This often neglects the spatial variation of magnetization in the domain transition region—the domain walls. However, when the chirality of the domain wall in a particular magnetic layer of the SAF is broken, there is a lack of accurate models to analyze the oscillations and precession of the magnetic moments within the domain wall region of the SAF. Summary of the Invention

Through the One cycle within Obtained through points ;
[0018] Unlike the traditional macro-spin coherent oscillations in SAF single domains, calculations using the one-dimensional domain wall model of the synthesized antiferromagnet reveal localized oscillations and precession of the magnetic moment within the domain wall region, accompanied by periodic velocity variations. (Comparison) 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;

However, [the text abruptly ends here]. 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) in the figure indicates that, as 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;

[0022] Please see Figure 3 In (f), the oscillation and precession of the domain wall azimuth angle can significantly alter the domain wall velocity, as illustrated 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) in the figure 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 has been determined that domain wall oscillations and precession in SAF occur during the transition of upper domain walls between the Nell and Bloch types, essentially representing a competition between the effective field of DMI and the applied magnetic field. Therefore, further research on the lower magnetic layer is needed. and the upper magnetic layer DMI effective field and The effect on domain wall oscillation states is greater in SAF structures due to their larger saturation magnetization. DMI effective field and SOT effective field The lower magnetic layer dominates, first fixing the effective field of the lower DMI. Change the upper field To examine their effects on domain wall states, such as Figure 2 As shown in (a), the left-handed Nell-type domain walls (typically formed at the Pt / Co interface) are in the lower magnetic layer The layer has an "↑←↓" configuration, and the effective field of the DMI in this layer points to...

Fixed at 1600 Oe and further increased At that time, a clear trend was revealed, as From 200 Oe to 1800 Oe ( Figure 4 (d) and 2400 Oe ( Figure 4 In (e), the domain walls are still in an oscillating state, but the frequency is different from that in (e).

Figure 4 In (f) of the middle, will Increasing the value further to 2600 Oe will stop the oscillations and precession, allowing the domain walls to return to a steady state.

This demonstrates 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.

Figure 4 The frequency variations shown by the eight curves in (g) are observed to stem from the inherent competition between the effective fields of the DMI in the two antiferromagnetic coupling layers. Lower magnetic layer Mainly through response to an applied magnetic field and interaction with the upper magnetic layer Interlayer exchange coupling governs the dynamics, DMI field This favors specific domain wall chirality and aligns with the direction of the applied magnetic field, primarily modulating the oscillation frequency. Conversely, due to the asymmetry of the SAF structure and interface, the upper-layer DMI field... and The directions are opposite, thus exerting opposite effects. With With the increase of [something], it gradually stabilized the upper magnetic layer. The domain wall configuration within the domain resists oscillations driven by an external magnetic field. This counter-stabilizing effect hinders the Nell-Bloch transition of the upper domain walls, the fundamental process for oscillations and precession. Therefore, the oscillation frequency increases with the frequency of the external magnetic field. The reverse torque decreases the domain wall oscillation rate, thus reducing it. When Become strong enough to pin the magnetic layer The domain walls in the middle lock it in place against the magnetic field from the lower magnetic layer. When the dynamics cease completely under the static configuration of the driving force of an applied magnetic field, the existence of a universal frequency limit indicates an intrinsic driving mechanism primarily governed by interlayer exchange coupling and SOT within the SAF structure. The contour plot clearly illustrates the large [frequency limit] within the oscillation region. and small How to increase the oscillation frequency of the SAF system;
[0025] Although the DMI effective field primarily governs domain wall type and chirality, the SOT effective field drives domain wall motion. Therefore, the influence of the SOT effective field on domain wall dynamics and oscillation frequency will be further investigated. First, we consider the damped SOT effective field—generated through the spin Hall effect—where along... Current propagating in the direction induces along Directional propagation Directional polarization spin current (e.g.) Figure 2 (as shown in the coordinate definition in SAF structure (a)).

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.

For example... Figure 5 As shown in (d) in the figure, 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 type SOT effective field This can significantly enhance frequency control. This component acts as a tunable vertical field, in... Achieving linear frequency scaling up to 105.2 GHz is a pathway to THz operation. These results not only elucidate the crucial role of chiral symmetry breaking in domain wall dynamics beyond the macro-spin approximation, but also provide practical strategies for designing SAF-based high-frequency domain wall oscillators by selectively manipulating DMI asymmetry, SOT synergy, and broken symmetry geometry.
[0033] Please see Figure 6 This invention designs a novel high-frequency signal generator by utilizing the domain wall oscillation effect in SAFs (Self-Activated Aerial Forming). It simulates an SAF ring structure, generating multiple domain walls within it using pinning points. By applying current to drive these domain walls to move along the ring structure, they simultaneously undergo high-frequency oscillations during movement, thus producing a stable signal output. The advantage of this device is that increasing the number of domain walls can improve signal output power and device integration, making it more practical and promising for future applications.
