Functional materials for spintronics, magnetic devices and magnetization dynamics — •Günter Reiss1, Andreas Hütten1, Jan Schmalhorst1, Markus Meinert1, Daniel Ebke1, Andy Thomas1, Hans-Werner Schumacher2, Markus Münzenberg3, and Sergej Demokritov41Physics Department, Bielefeld University, Bielefeld, Germany — 2PTB Braunschweig, Braunschweig, Germany — 3Physics Department, Göttingen University, Göttingen, Germany — 4Physics Department, Münster University, Münster, Germany

Spintronics uses the magnetic moment of electrons to process and store information or to sense magnetic fields. The corresponding devices are usually built from stacks of different thin films such as ferro-, ferri- and antiferromagnets, insulators, seed layers and conductors. The properties of the materials and the various interfaces are the key enablers for the device functionality. Using magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) capable of spin torque transfer switching as example we present the challenges of applications and discuss recent advances in using either traditional material combinations such as CoFeB/MgO or new materials such as Heusler alloys and magnetically perpendicular materials. In all stacks, magnetization and damping are key parameters and thus important dynamic properties will be discussed as well. In the last part, new memristive properties will be presented which could enable mimicking brain operations with MTJs.
