Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to topological semi-metal (TSM) and topological insulator (TI) based spin-orbit torque (SOT) devices and a method of forming thereof. TI or TSM-based SOT device (such as that with BiSb in the SOT layer) has been proposed for applications in magnetic switching and sensor applications, where current flows in a CIP (current-in-plane) or CPP (current-perpendicular-to-the-plane) direction, respectively. For CPP SOT devices, the requirement for the TI or TSM layer's bulk property is to be more insulating, to minimize shunting. However, for CIP SOT devices, the requirement for the TI or TSM layer's bulk property is to be more conductive, for less power consumption. Disclosed herein are various embodiments covering types and amounts of dopants for the TI or TSM layer, to decrease the bandgap of the TI or TSM layer for CIP SOT devices, thereby increasing the bulk conductivity for lower power consumption.

Abstract: Nitrogen doping an insulating layer can lower the bandgap of a magnetic storage device. It is challenging to nitrogen dope magnesium oxide (MgO). A cation can be added to allow the magnesium to hold onto the nitrogen dopant without highly oxidizing or nitriding the cation. The resulting nitrogen doped MgXO, where X is the cation, has a lower bandgap compared to a much similar barrier layer that has neither nitrogen nor a cation thus improving thermal and electrical reliabilities. The nitrogen doped MgXO is non-stoichiometric whereas comparably, an oxynitride is stoichiometric. Example cations that may be used include aluminum, titanium, vanadium, chromium, and scandium.

Abstract: Magnetic moments can be increased in hard disk drive (HDD) shields and ferromagnetic layers to minimize magnetic saturation while still maintaining low magnetic coercivity (Hc) and high saturated magnetic flux (Bs). A textured layer can be used to induce nucleation and growth of an interfacial nature such that body centered cubic (BCC) ferromagnetic materials with high Bs and low Hc are obtained while also increasing the magnetic moment. The textured layer will cause the ferromagnetic material to grow with low Hc regardless of the crystallographic orientation.

Abstract: The invention proposes a system to compress reflected signals on a fluctuating noise background applied to active surveillance radar systems. This is a new, simple and effective solution to compress signals before sharing or transmitting to the processing center. Unlike previous systems based on performing compression on each reflected pulse, this transparent proposed system processes reflected regions in the form of a two-dimensional (2D) correlation matrix, combined with the dynamic calculation, automatically accumulates and adapts to changes; the convolution and compression algorithms are simple and effective since they are associated with the characteristics of active radar reflected areas in both frequency and time domains. Thanks to that, the system proposed in this invention provides effective and superior compression performance compared to the proposed systems.
