- Development of a novel ionically driven synthesis method to grow high-quality ordered manganese- nitride based magnetic materials
- This manganese-nitride based films can be potentially integrated into existing spintronic devices such as MRAM, magnetic storage, and magnetic sensors
- Exhibits perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and substantial domain wall velocity
OVERVIEW
Researchers at Georgetown University’s Department of Physics have developed a novel ionically driven synthesis method to grow high-quality ordered manganese- nitride based magnetic materials by magnetron sputtering system. This ferrimagnetic material exhibits perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and substantial domain wall velocity, making it suitable for numerous spintronic device implementations and domain-wall-based magnetic memory applications.
BACKGROUND
Spintronics is an emerging field where the electron spins, in addition to the electron charge, are used to carry and manipulate digital information. It has been shown to potentially transform the computer memory market with the emergency and adaptation of magnetic random access memory (MRAM). Moreover, it may revolutionize nanoelectronics with the creation of post- Complementary Metal-Oxide- Semiconductor (COMS) and neuromorphic technologies.Currently, most magnetic materials employed in spintronics are based on cobalt or rare-earth elements, which causes environmental concerns and are prone to geopolitical factors. A promising alternative material for more sustainable spintronics is the manganese-nitride family of materials, composed of economically viable and earth-abundant elements.
