  • Spin orbit torque generating materials
    Patent number: 10878985
    Abstract: A material may include at least one of BixSe(1-x), BixTe(1-x), or SbxTe(1-x), where x is greater than 0 and less than 1. In some examples, the material exhibits a Spin Hall Angle of greater than 3.5 at room temperature. The disclosure also describes examples of devices that include a spin-orbit torque generating layer, in which the spin-orbit torque generating layer includes at least one of BixSe(1-x), BixTe(1-x), or SbxTe(1-x), where x is greater than 0 and less than 1. In some examples, the spin-orbit torque generating layer exhibits a Spin Hall Angle of greater than 3.5 at room temperature.
