Magnetization dynamics driven by displacement currents across a magnetic tunnel junction
Physical Review Applied American Physical Society 22:2 (2024) 24019
Abstract:
Understanding the high-frequency transport characteristics of magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) is crucial for the development of fast-operating spintronics memories and radio frequency devices. Here, we present the study of a frequency-dependent capacitive current effect in CoFeB/MgO-based MTJs and its influence on magnetization dynamics using a time-resolved magneto-optical Kerr effect technique. In our device, operating at gigahertz frequencies, we find a large displacement current of the order of mA, which does not break the tunnel barrier of the MTJ. Importantly, this current generates an Oersted field and spin-orbit torque, inducing magnetization dynamics. Our discovery holds promise for building robust MTJ devices operating under high current conditions, also highlighting the significance of capacitive impedance in high-frequency magnetotransport techniques.Magnetization dynamics driven by displacement currents across a magnetic tunnel junction
