Magnetic properties of ultrathin spin-orbit coupled metal/ferromagnet heterostructures for applications in superconducting spintronics

DOI

Recently, it has been predicted that spin-orbit coupled heavy normal metal (NM)/ferromagnet (FM) heterostructures with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in proximity to a conventional superconductor can give rise to an exotic form of superconductivity. This opens up the possibility to investigate the connection between spin-orbit coupling and spin-triplet superconductivity and goes a step further to enable design of devices where the superconductivity can be controlled by electric fields. Furthermore, such structures have been under intense investigation recently owing to the existence of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction at the interface between the FM and heavy NM metal. This project aims to investigate the magnetic properties of such FM/NM structures with PNR to elucidate the magnetic nature of the interface which essentially controls most of its magnetic properties.
