Abstract

In this project, we will establish an experimental platform for exploiting non-linear, spin-orbit-torque-driven dynamics in a synthetic antiferromagnet (sAF) multilayer as a potential fundamental building block for future spintronic-based neuromorphic computing. We will combine high-frequency magnetotransport measurements with femtosecond nanoscale imaging approaches, including a novel aberration-corrected uTEM methodology. Moving beyond the sAF model system, we will investigate the control of atomic-scale spin structures in PT-symmetric antiferromagnets imaged by in-situ transmission electron microscopy.
