The metallic rutile oxide RuO2, long believed to be a textbook Pauli paramagnet, recently emerged as a putative workhorse altermagnet when resonant X-ray and neutron scattering studies reported nonzero magnetic moments and long-range collinear order. While some experiments seem consistent with altermagnetism, magnetic order in RuO2 remains controversial. We show that RuO2 is nonmagnetic, both in bulk and thin film. Muon spectroscopy complemented by density-functional theory finds at most 1.14 × 10−4 μB/Ru in bulk and at most 7.5 × 10−4 μB/Ru in 11 nm epitaxial films, at our spectrometers’ detection limit, and dramatically smaller than previously reported neutron results that were used to rationalize altermagnetic behavior.

In the field of optical magnetism, it is still unclear to which extent altermagnets as a class can exhibit a distinct behavior. Here we choose RuO2, a prototype metallic altermagnet with a giant spin splitting, and CoF2, an experimentally known insulating altermagnet, to study the light-induced magnetism in rutile altermagnets from first-principles. We demonstrate that in the non-relativisic limit the allowed sublattice-resolved orbital response exhibits symmetries, imposed by altermagnetism, which lead to a drastic canting of light-induced moments. On the other hand, we find that inclusion of spin-orbit interaction enhances the overall effect drastically, introduces a significant anisotropy with respect to the light polarization and strongly suppresses the canting of induced moments. Remarkably, we observe that the moments induced by linearly-polarized laser pulses in light altermagnets can even exceed in magnitude those predicted for heavy ferromagnets exposed to circularly polarized light. By resorting to microscopic tools we interpret our results in terms of the altermagnetic spin splittings and of their reciprocal space distribution. Based on our findings, we speculate that optical excitations may provide a unique tool to switch and probe the magnetic state of rutile altermagnets.","PeriodicalId":501713,"journal":{"name":"npj Spintronics","volume":" ","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s44306-024-00053-0.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142117952","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

All-oxide heterostructures comprised of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic/multiferroic oxides provide an ideal platform to enable the electric-field control of EB, promising for energy-efficient memory and logic devices. However, the low block temperature (TB) and small bias field (HEB) hinder further advances towards room-temperature applications. Here, we report an alternative approach to enhance the interface-induced EB by using ferrimagnetic double-perovskite with B-site cation ordering. In heterostructures comprised of double-perovskite Sr2FeReO6 (SFRO) and LaFeO3 (LFO), a high TB (about 250 K) and large HEB are observed, which is significantly larger than the counterparts with LFO and ferromagnetic oxides. Further analysis suggests that the cation-ordering and ferrimagnetic spin structure of the double-perovskite could contribute significantly to the enhanced exchanged bias when interfacing with G-type antiferromagnets. Our results open a new avenue for developing all-oxides heterostructures for future magnetic technologies.","PeriodicalId":501713,"journal":{"name":"npj Spintronics","volume":" ","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s44306-024-00051-2.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141973730","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, we establish which components of anisotropic magnetoresistance are present when the magnetic order is rotated within the hexagonal basal plane. Our experimental results, which are in agreement with our symmetry analysis of the magnetotransport components, showcase the existence of an anisotropic magnetoresistance linked to both the relative orientation of current and magnetic order, as well as crystal and magnetic order.

SOT characterization involving harmonic Hall resistances is typically done in low-current regimes, distinct from high-current regimes, where SOT-induced magnetization switching occurs. In this study, we investigate azimuthal angle (ϕ)-dependent harmonic Hall resistances of a Pt/yttrium iron garnet (YIG) layer across a wide range of measurement currents. Under low-current conditions, conventional ϕ-dependent Hall resistances are observed; the first harmonic Hall resistance exhibits sin 2ϕ behavior and the second harmonic Hall resistance comprises cos ϕ and cos 3ϕ terms. Interestingly, with increasing current, higher-order angular-dependent terms become non-negligible, referring to the sin 4ϕ and sin 6ϕ terms for the first harmonic and the cos 5ϕ and cos 7ϕ terms for the second harmonic Hall resistances. We attribute this unconventional angular dependence to the nonlinear response of magnetization direction to SOT, emphasizing its relevance to understanding the magnetization dynamics during SOT-induced switching under large currents.","PeriodicalId":501713,"journal":{"name":"npj Spintronics","volume":" ","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s44306-024-00050-3.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141973731","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For instance, the spin–orbit coupling strongly influences spin dynamics, opening the possibility for promising applications. The topological insulator–ferromagnet heterostructure is a typical example exhibiting spin dynamics driven by current-induced spin–orbit torque. Recent observations of the sign flip of Hall conductivity imply that the spin–orbit torque is strong enough to flip magnetization within this heterostructure. Motivated by this, our study elucidates the conditions governing spin flips by studying the magnetization dynamics. We establish that the interplay between spin-anisotropy and spin–orbit torque plays a crucial role in the magnetization dynamics. Furthermore, we categorize various modes of magnetization dynamics, constructing a comprehensive phase diagram across distinct energy scales, damping constants, and applied frequencies. We also consider the effect of a magnetic field on the magnetization dynamics.

A distinguishing feature of AFM skyrmions is the cancellation of their net topological charge, leading to an anticipated absence of the skyrmion Hall effect (SkHE). Here, we unveil that the latter is finite under the influence of spin-transfer torque, depending on the direction of the injected current impinging on intrinsic AFM skyrmions emerging in Cr/Pd/Fe trilayer on Ir(111) surface. Hinging on first principles combined with atomistic spin dynamics simulations, we identify the origin of the SkHE, which is due to the ellipticity of the skyrmions, and we uncover that FM skyrmions in the underlying Fe layer act as effective traps for AFM skyrmions, confining them and affecting their velocity.
