Abstract
- Antiferromagnetic insulators have recently been proved to support spin current efficiently. Here, we report the damping-like spin- orbit torque (SOT) in Pt / NiO / CoFeB has a strong temperature dependence and reverses the sign below certain temperatures, which is different from the slight variation with temperature in the Pt / CoFeB bilayer. The negative damping-like SOT at low temperatures is proposed to be mediated by the magnetic interactions that tie with the “exchange bias” in Pt / NiO / CoFeB, in contrast to the thermal-magnon-mediated scenario at high temperatures. Our results highlight the promise to control the SOT through tuning the magnetic structure in multilayers.
