However, relativistic quantum mechanics allows for generating current-induced internal fields whose sign alternates with the periodicity of the antiferromagnetic lattice. Using these fields, which couple strongly to the antiferromagnetic order, we demonstrate room-temperature electrical switching between stable configurations in antiferromagnetic CuMnAs thin-film devices by applied current with magnitudes of order 106 ampere per square centimeter. Electrical writing is combined in our solid-state memory with electrical readout and the stored magnetic state is insensitive to and produces no external magnetic field perturbations, which illustrates the unique merits of antiferromagnets for spintronics.}, cin = {IAS-1 / PGI-1 / JARA-HPC}, ddc = {500}, cid = {I:(DE-Juel1)IAS-1-20090406 / I:(DE-Juel1)PGI-1-20110106 / $I:(DE-82)080012_20140620$}, pnm = {142 - Controlling Spin-Based Phenomena (POF3-142) / Magnetic Anisotropy of Metallic Layered Systems and Nanostructures $(jiff13_20131101)$}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF3-142 / $G:(DE-Juel1)jiff13_20131101$}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)16}, UT = {WOS:000369291600036}, pubmed = {pmid:26841431}, doi = {10.1126/science.aab1031}, url = {https://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/280837}, }
