The processional switching mechanism governs magnetic switching in magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) in the sub-nanosecond range, which limits the application of spin transfer torque magnetic random access memory (STT-MRAM) in the ultrafast region. In this paper, we propose a new picosecond magnetic switching mechanism in a synthetic antiferromagnetic (SAF) structure using the adjustable Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY) interaction controlled by an external electric field (E-field). It is shown that along with the sign change of the RKKY interaction in the SAF structure with an external E-field, the critical switching current density can be significantly reduced by one order of magnitude compared to that of a normal MTJ design at 100 ps; thus, this novel STT-MRAM can be written with a very low switching current density to avoid the MTJ breakdown problem and reduce the writing energy. To understand the physical origin of this abnormal phenomenon, a toy model is proposed in which the external-E-field-controlled sign change of the RKKY interaction in the SAF structure provides an extra contribution to the total energy that helps thespins overcome the energy barrier and break the processional switching mechanism.
Magnetic chiral skyrmions are vortex like spin structures that appear as stable or meta-stable states in magnetic materials due to the interplay between the symmetric and antisymmetric exchange interactions, applied magnetic field and/or uniaxial ani
We employ neutron spherical polarimetry to determine the nature and population of the coexisting antiferromagnetic domains in multiferroic YMn2O5. By applying an electric field, we prove that reversing the electrical polarization results in the popul
Since it is undesirable to require an external magnetic field for on-chip memory applications, we investigate the use of a Rashba effective field alternatively for assisting the electric-field-induced switching operation of a three terminal perpendic
Large magnetoresistance effect controlled by electric field rather than magnetic field or electric current is a preferable routine for designing low power consumption magnetoresistance-based spintronic devices. Here we propose an electric-field contr
We numerically demonstrate an ultrafast method to create $textit{single}$ skyrmions in a $textit{collinear}$ ferromagnetic sample by applying a picosecond (effective) magnetic field pulse in the presence of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. For smal
