摘要

We investigate the magnetic domain structures and the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) arising in CoFeB films interfaced with selected heavy metal (HM) layers with large spin Hall angles in HM/CoFeB/MgO (HM = W, Pt, Pd, WxTa1-x) stacks as a function of CoFeB thickness and composition for both as-deposited and annealed materials stacks. The coercivity and the anisotropy fields of annealed material stacks are higher than for the as-deposited stacks due to crystallisation of the ferromagnetic layer. Generally a critical thickness of MgO > 1 nm provides adequate oxide formation at the top interface as a requirement for the generation of PMA. We demonstrate that in stacks with Pt as the HM, the PMA depends crucially on the alloy composition of the ferromagnet requiring a Co rich alloy to achieve PMA, i.e. it is important to have a large number of Pt-Co hybrid bonds at the interface compared to Pt-Fe hybrid bonds. In Pd/CoFeB/MgO layers, we observe for appropriate PMA a special stripe domain configuration that also includes circular skyrmion-like spin structures. Three different means of selective tuning of the PMA are discussed apart from the conventional FM thickness variation: Changing the number of repetitions of a multilayer stack is shown to change the PMA and strong PMA is found for certain compositions of WxTa1-x that also result in very low coercive fields (<1 mT) of the CoFeB. The PMA has also been shown to be tuned via annealing, very strong anisotropy fields of up to 1 T and low pinning of domain structures were measured in W/CoFeB/MgO, making these multilayers stacks a promising candidate for MRAM development.
