We obtain robust perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in a beta-W/Co40Fe40B20/MgO structure without the need of any insertion layer between W and Co40Fe40B20. This is achieved within a broad range of W thicknesses ( 3.0-9.0 nm), using a simple fabrication technique. We determine the spin Hall angle (0.40) and spin-diffusion length for the bulk beta form of tungsten with a large spin-orbit coupling. As a result of the giant spin Hall effect in beta-W and careful magnetic annealing, we significantly reduce the critical current density for the spin-transfer-torque-induced magnetic switching in Co40Fe40B20. The elemental beta-W is a superior candidate for magnetic memory and spin-logic applications.
