Abstract:
A spin-orbit torque device 100 is described. In an embodiment, the spin-orbit torque device 100 comprises: a first pinning region 106 having a first fixed magnetization direction; a second pinning region 108 having a second fixed magnetization direction which is in a different direction to the first fixed magnetization direction; a magnetic layer 102 having a switchable magnetization direction; and a spin source layer 104 configured to generate a spin current for propagating a domain wall between the first and second pinning regions 106, 108 to switch the switchable magnetization direction of the magnetic layer 102 between the first and second fixed magnetization directions.
