While current-induced spin-orbit torques (SOTs) have been extensively studied in ferromagnets and antiferromagnets, ferrimagnets have been less studied. Here we report the presence of enhanced spin-orbit torques resulting from negative exchange interaction in ferrimagnets. The effective field and switching efficiency increase substantially as CoGd approaches its compensation point, giving rise to 9 times larger spin-orbit torques compared to that of non-compensated one. The macrospin modelling results also support efficient spin-orbit torques in a ferrimagnet. Our results suggest that ferrimagnets near compensation can be a new route for spin-orbit torque applications due to their high thermal stability and easy current-induced switching assisted by negative exchange interaction.

Antiferromagnetic materials are outstanding candidates for next generation spintronic applications, because their ultrafast spin dynamics makes it possible to realize several orders of magnitude higher-speed devices than conventional ferromagnetic ma
terials1. Though spin-transfer torque (STT) is a key for electrical control of spins as successfully demonstrated in ferromagnetic spintronics, experimental understanding of STT in antiferromagnets has been still lacking despite a number of pertinent theoretical studies2-5. Here, we report experimental results on the effects of STT on domain-wall (DW) motion in antiferromagnetically-coupled ferrimagnets. We find that non-adiabatic STT acts like a staggered magnetic field and thus can drive DWs effectively. Moreover, the non-adiabaticity parameter {beta} of STT is found to be significantly larger than the Gilbert damping parameter {alpha}, challenging our conventional understanding of the non-adiabatic STT based on ferromagnets as well as leading to fast current-induced antiferromagnetic DW motion. Our study will lead to further vigorous exploration of STT for antiferromagnetic spin textures for fundamental physics on spin-charge interaction as wells for efficient electrical control of antiferromagnetic devices.
Current induced domain wall (DW) motion in perpendicularly magnetized nanostripes in the presence of spin orbit torques is studied. We show using micromagnetic simulations that the direction of the current induced DW motion and the associated DW velo
city depend on the relative values of the field like torque (FLT) and the Slonczewski like torques (SLT). The results are well explained by a collective coordinate model which is used to draw a phase diagram of the DW dynamics as a function of the FLT and the SLT. We show that a large increase in the DW velocity can be reached by a proper tuning of both torques.
We investigate laser-induced torques in magnetically non-collinear ferromagnets with a spin-spiral magnetic structure using textit{ab-initio} calculations. Since spin-spirals may be used to approximate the magnetization gradients locally in domain wa
lls and skyrmions, our method may be used to obtain the laser-induced torques in such objects from a multiscale approach. Employing the generalized Bloch-theorem we obtain the electronic structure computationally efficiently. We employ our method to assess the laser-induced torques in bcc Fe, hcp Co, and L$_{1}0$ FePt when a spin-spiral magnetic structure is imposed. We find that the laser-induced torques in these magnetically noncollinear systems may be orders of magnitude larger than those in the corresponding magnetically collinear systems and that they exist both for linearly and circularly polarized light. This result suggests that laser-induced torques driven by noncollinear magnetic order or by magnetic fluctuations may contribute significantly to processes in ultrafast magnetism.
Antiferromagnetic spintronics is an emerging research field which aims to utilize antiferromagnets as core elements in spintronic devices. A central motivation toward this direction is that antiferromagnetic spin dynamics is expected to be much faste
r than ferromagnetic counterpart because antiferromagnets have higher resonance frequencies than ferromagnets. Recent theories indeed predicted faster dynamics of antiferromagnetic domain walls (DWs) than ferromagnetic DWs. However, experimental investigations of antiferromagnetic spin dynamics have remained unexplored mainly because of the immunity of antiferromagnets to magnetic fields. Furthermore, this immunity makes field-driven antiferromagnetic DW motion impossible despite rich physics of field-driven DW dynamics as proven in ferromagnetic DW studies. Here we show that fast field-driven antiferromagnetic spin dynamics is realized in ferrimagnets at the angular momentum compensation point TA. Using rare-earth 3d-transition metal ferrimagnetic compounds where net magnetic moment is nonzero at TA, the field-driven DW mobility remarkably enhances up to 20 km/sT. The collective coordinate approach generalized for ferrimagnets and atomistic spin model simulations show that this remarkable enhancement is a consequence of antiferromagnetic spin dynamics at TA. Our finding allows us to investigate the physics of antiferromagnetic spin dynamics and highlights the importance of tuning of the angular momentum compensation point of ferrimagnets, which could be a key towards ferrimagnetic spintronics.
This work demonstrates that the magnetization and angular momentum compensation temperature (TMC and TAMC) in ferrimagnets (FiM) can be unambiguously determined by performing two sets of temperature dependent current switching, with the symmetry reve
rses at TMC and TAMC, respectively. A theoretical model based on the modified Landau-Lifshitz-Bloch equation is developed to systematically study the spin torque effect under different temperatures, and numerical simulations are performed to corroborate our proposal. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the recently reported linear relation between TAMC and TMC can be explained using the Curie-Weiss theory.
