Abstract: | We investigated the effect of an ultrathin Fe interlayer on the growth of MnGa and spin-orbit torque (SOT) induced magnetization switching. MnGa was epitaxially grown on Fe at room temperature without thermal annealing. The MnGa/Fe bilayer was perpendicularly magnetized, and clear magnetization switching of the MnGa/Fe bilayer using the spin current, mainly from the adjacent Ta, was observed. The insertion of the Fe layer reduced the switching current density and increased a SOT-originated effective magnetic field. These results indicate that the MnGa/Fe bilayer is a promising spin source, capable of both perpendicular spin injection into GaAs and electrical manipulation of its spin direction. |
