Enhanced spin-orbit torques in rare-earth Pt/[Co/Ni]2/Co/Tb systems

We report the enhanced spin-orbit torque (SOT) effect due to the rare-earth metal Tb in a Pt/[Co/Ni]2/Co/Tb multilayer with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA). Due to the large spin-orbit coupling in Tb, the effective dampinglike efficiency, ξeffDL, is determined to be 0.55 for 9-nm Tb as compa...
