- Spin orbit torque (SOT) induced magnetic random-access memory is an emerging memory to rival semiconductor memories. An understanding of SOT effects is crucial for magnetisation reversal mediated devices.
Characterising SOT effects in materials with in-plane magnetic anisotropy has conventionally required two distinct measurements, often leading to error creep, with complicated tools. This work provides a technique which simplifies the characterisation of SOT using a single shot measurement for materials with IMA. The method is self-validating eliminating errors in the quantification of SOT. This result helps the wider community and stimulate further interest in looking at IMA materials for device application.
