Antiferromagnetic Spintronics

A few years ago, an intriguing new spin based logic-in-memory architecture, MESO, was described which used magnetoelectric multiferroics (ME) and spin-orbit (SO) metals as key building blocks. Over the past year, there have been some new developments in SOT based manipulation of magnets. Particularly, the role of epitaxy and electronically perfect interfaces has been shown to significantly impact the spin-to-charge conversion (or vice versa). We are studying spin transport in La-BFO using a combination of NV imaging and spin Hall measurements. This talk will give you a summary of our progress so far.
