摘要：

The quest for a solid state non-volatile memory device on silicon with high storage density, high speed, and low power consumption has attracted intense research on new materials and novel device architectures. Perovskite oxide films show lots of unique properties due to strong coupling among charge, spin, orbital. In this presentation, I will report our recent works on ferroelectric tunnel junction, multiferroic induced in the ferroelectric/ferromagnetic heterostructures, ferroelectric polarization effects on spin orbital torque and low damping constant 1) The ability to change states using voltage in ferroelectric tunnel junctions (FTJs) offers a route for lowering the switching energy of memories. A high TER (∼400%) can be achieved at BaTiO₃ tunnel layer down to two unit cells (∼0.8 nm). Furthermore, we demonstrate ferroelectric tunnel junctions (Pt/BaTiO₃/La_0.67Sr_0.33MnO₃) epitaxially grown on silicon substrates. The write speed, data retention and fatigue properties of the device compare favorably with flash memories. We also demonstrated that the ferroelectricity can be persisted when BiFeO₃ thickness is down to 1 unit cell and showed good FTJ function. 2) The artificial composite multiferroics, which combines the ferroelectric and magnetic constituents, utilizes the interface coupling, including charge modulation, the orbital reconstruction due to the ions displacement and magnetic order reconstruction. The magnetic properties of 5 unit cell La_0.7Sr_0.3MnO₃ (LSMO) layer grown on BTO films with different polarization direction showed that saturation magnetization of LSMO films grown on BTO with polarization up is much larger than that of LSMO grown on BTO with polarization down. XAS and XMCD investigation showed that magnetism of Ti atoms in BTO was induced. Furthermore, the Ti atoms are ferromagnetically and antiferromagnetically coupled to Mn atoms for different ferroelectric polarization. 3) Spin orbital torque is considered to be originated from Rashba effect and spin Hall Effect. We have demonstrated that the ferroelectric built-in electric field has significant effect on spin orbital torque. The magnetic free-field switching is achieved. 4) In order for development of full oxide spintronic device, low damping ferroelectric oxide conductive materials is desired. We have successfully fabricated LaSrMnO3 films with the damping constant in the order of magnitude of 10^{-4 .} The measurement is based on our home angle resolved FMR technique.
