A New Spintronic Phenomenon: Chiral-spin Rotation Found in Non-collinear Antiferromagnet

Caption

A figure of merit, defined as the ratio of critical field HC to critical current density JC to manipulate magnetic structure, as a function of magnetic layer thickness for non-collinear antiferromagnet (NC-AFM) as seen in this study. Also shown here is a previously studied collinear ferromagnet (C-Ferro) and ferrimagnet (C-Ferri).
