Summary: In this study, we propose that the spin transfer torque mechanism can be used to shift the magnetization loop along the magnetic field axis in an infinitely long ferromagnetic nanowire without an antiferromagnetic layer. We call this phenomenon spin transfer torque bias. The occurrence of spin transfer torque bias depends on the angle between the spin-polarized current and the Zeeman field, and is attributed to the helical motion of the domain wall.

Summary: This research proposes a novel field-free deterministic magnetization switching scheme by using two currents sequentially passing interlaced paths in a regular magnetic tunnel junction. The switching is bipolar since the final magnetization state depends on the combination of current paths. The functionality and robustness of the proposed scheme are validated through both macrospin and micromagnetic simulation.

Summary: Neuromorphic computing is a potential technology for low power intelligent devices. Spintronics-based neurons and synapses have higher endurance. By engineering the beta-W spin-orbit coupling material, we achieved low energy domain wall motion. The energy consumption for moving the domain wall is 27 aJ/bit, showing the potential for ultralow energy spin-based neuromorphic elements.

Summary: Neuromorphic computing is a potential technology for low-power intelligent devices. Spintronics-based neurons and synapses have higher endurance, but low-energy domain wall devices are preferred for low-power devices. By engineering the beta-W spin-orbit coupling material, we achieve low-current density DW motion with ultralow energy consumption and current density reduction.

Summary: This work investigates the static and dynamic features of transverse domain walls in a magnetostrictive, linear elastic isotropic ferromagnetic material under the action of magnetic field and electric current. The effects of stresses induced by a piezoelectric actuator and Rashba spin-orbit torque caused by structural inversion asymmetry are considered. The study derives the explicit expression of key quantities such as domain wall profile, velocity, mobility, and displacement, and confirms the agreement of the analytical results with numerical simulations and experimental observations.

Summary: Traditional artificial intelligence implemented on digital computers may be affected by nonuniform nanoscale devices used in neuromorphic computing. In this study, population encoding strategy is introduced and demonstrated to overcome the problems caused by nonuniform devices. The results show that imperfect storage devices can be used for hardware implementation of neuromorphic computing with comparable accuracy to conventional methods.

Summary: This paper investigates the spin-orbit torque and transport property in a 2D Rashba ferromagnetic electron gas. The longitudinal conductivity has two parts: one is determined by the charge density and independent of spin degrees of freedom, while the other is directly proportional to spin-orbit torque regardless of the band structure and temperature. This study reveals a general relationship between the transport property and spin-orbit torque. Additionally, the impacts of the spin-orbit coupling constant and Fermi energy on transverse conductivity and spin-orbit torque are discussed, providing helpful information for relevant experiments.

Summary: In this study, we demonstrate the controlled injection of domain walls (DWs) in a ferromagnetic nanostrip using spin-transfer torque (STT), enabled by modified perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) in Pt/Co. The presence of a 90-degree magnetized transition region is shown to be crucial for the injection process, with the generation frequency of DWs being reversibly controlled in the MHz to multi-GHz range. These findings highlight the feasibility of a highly tunable and direct-current-controlled transverse in-plane DW signal source, which has potential applications in compact and integrated DW circuits and oscillators.

Summary: The spin-wave frequency comb generates a comb-like spectrum through the interaction between spin wave and oscillating magnetic domain wall, with the amplitude and frequency spacing controlled by tuning the domain wall oscillation. This comb can be used to design new magnonic devices and provides a new approach for low-power manipulation of spin waves compared to parametric excitation.

Summary: In this study, the motion of skyrmions due to spin transfer torque is found to be more challenging in the presence of a spin-orbit interaction when only in-plane currents exist at the interface. However, edge effects in narrow nanowires can be utilized to drive the skyrmion motion and exert limited control on its direction. Differences and similarities between torque fields due to electric current in the many and single band limits are also discussed.

Summary: This study successfully manipulates domain walls in kagome antiferromagnets via a spin-wave source, with the speed and direction of the domain wall motion regulated by tuning the spin wave frequency. By establishing an effective action and deriving equations for spin-wave-driven domain wall motion, the frequency-dependent velocity of the spin texture is explained.

Summary: Micromagnetic simulations show that spin-polarized currents can excite a steady oscillation mode accompanied by magnetic domain splitting and the creation and annihilation of meron. The oscillation frequency is influenced by the in-plane magnetic anisotropy and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI), and can be controlled by adjusting the anisotropy strength and DMI strength.
