Field‐Free Switching of Magnetization by Tilting the Perpendicular Magnetic Anisotropy of Gd/Co Multilayers (Adv. Funct. Mater. 26/2022)

Field-Free Switching In article number 2112561, Jung-Il Hong, Chanyong Hwang, and co-workers demonstrate field-free spin-orbit torque switching of perpendicular magnetization in amorphous and ferrimagnetic Gd/Co multilayers accompanied by a tilted magnetic anisotropy axis. This tilted anisotropy could facilitate the development of magnetic memory and logic devices without the need for external application of a global magnetic field or manufacturing complex magnetic structures to induce symmetry breaking.
