摘要

Single-ended, programmable spin logic devices driven by field-free spin-orbit torque (SOT) are promising for future in-memory computing architectures, which can offer simplified circuitry, high integration density, and low power consumption. Here, we demonstrate field-free SOT-driven switching of slightly tilted perpendicular magnetization in FexGd100-x ferrimagnetic films prepared by oblique sputtering. Then we realize six programmable logic functions (AND, OR, NAND, NOR, Always ON/OFF) in a single device, by designing a single-ended spin logic device and introducing a double-pulse time-delay coupled scheme. These functions arise from the nonlinear dependence of the critical switching current on the pulse width and amplitude. Furthermore, it is revealed that the field-free magnetization switching is governed by domain wall motion, induced by SOT effective fields arising from the spatial inversion symmetry-broken inner electric field due to the oblique sputtering. Our work provides an energy-efficient route for implementing compact, programmable spintronic logic-in-memory systems using time-domain pulse engineering.
