We used broadband ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) spectroscopy to measure the second and forth order perpendicular magnetic anisotropies in Ta/ Co60Fe20B20/MgO layers over a thickness range of 0.8-5 nm. For a thickness greater than 1.0 nm, the easy axis is

Traditionally, superconductivity and magnetism have had a mutually exclusive relationship. However, the physics of superconductor-ferromagnet hybrid structures turned out to be far from being simply destructive, which has led to the hope of a new breed of

The magnetization behavior, magnetic anisotropy and domain congurations of Co/Pd multilayers with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy capped with permalloy is investigated using magnetometry, magnetic force microscopy and ferromagnetic resonance. The

Spin-transfer torque switching observed in nanopillar superconducting-magnetic hybrid Josephson junctions

Combining superconducting and magnetic materials to create novel superconducting devices has been motivated by the discovery of the Josephson critical current (Ics) oscillations with magnetic layer thickness and the demonstration of devices with switchable

Phase-Sensitive Detection of Spin Pumping via the ac Inverse Spin Hall Effect

Sources of pure spin currents are a fundamental building block of spintronic devices. In ferromagnet/normal metal heterostructures, spin currents are generated at ferromagnetic resonance. This is known as spin pumping, where spin currents of both dc and ac

Organic semiconductors hold immense promise for the development of a wide range of innovative devices with their excellent electronic and manufacturing characteristics. Of particular interest are non-magnetic organic semiconductors that show unusual

In a small fraction of magnetic-tunnel-junction-based MRAM devices with in-plane free layers, the write error rates (WERs) are higher than expected on the basis of the macrospin or quasi-uniform magnetization reversal models. In devices with increased WERs

The quantum behavior of Josephson junctions is often exploited to produce superconducting devices with outstanding performance. Josephson junctions can also be used in circuits that perform logic operations in picoseconds and may enable high-performance

In a recent Letter, Hahn et al. reported on the detection of an ac voltage in a yttrium iron garnet (YIG)/platinum (Pt) bilayer under the condition of parametrically excited resonance. The authors observe an ac voltage at the frequency of the magnetization

State and Measurement Tomography of an Exchange-Only Spin Qubit

We demonstrate the initialization, full electrical control, and state tomography of an exchange- only spin qubit in a GaAs heterostructure. Decoherence and leakage from the qubit subspace are accounted for with a model of charge noise and fluctuating

We present a modulated microwave approach for quantum computing with qubits comprising three spins in a triple quantum dot. This approach includes single- and two-qubit gates that are protected against low-frequency electrical noise, due to an operating

We introduce a solid-state qubit in which exchange interactions among confined electrons provide both the static longitudinal field and the oscillatory transverse field, allowing rapid and full qubit control via rf gate-voltage pulses. We demonstrate two

If Josephson and spintronic technologies can be successfully integrated to produce a cryogenic memory that can be controlled with single-flux quantum pulses, then they may enable ultra-low-power, high-speed computing. We have developed hybrid Josephson

Spin transfer nano-oscillators are small multilayer magnetic devices that undergo microwave oscillations and output a microwave voltage when a bias current is applied. The oscillation frequency is tunable, over a range of 0.5 GHz to 225 GHz, by varying the
