| Popis: | The interfacial Dyzaloshinskii-Moria interaction (DMI) helps to stabilize chiral domain walls and magnetic skyrmions, which will facilitate new magnetic memories and spintronics logic devices. The study of interfacial DMI in perpendicularly magnetized structurally asymmetric heavy metal (HM) / ferromagnetic (FM) multilayer systems is of high importance due to the formation of chiral magnetic textures in the presence of DMI. Here, we report the impact of the cobalt oxidation at the cobalt -aluminum oxide interface in Pt/Co/AlOx trilayer structure on the DMI by varying the post-growth annealing time and Aluminum thickness. For quantifying DMI, we employed magneto-optical imaging of asymmetric domain wall expansion, hysteresis loop shift, and spin-wave spectroscopy techniques. We further correlated the Cobalt oxidation with low-temperature Hall effect measurements and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Our results emphasize the characterization of magnetic films for MRAM technologies semiconductor temperature process window, where magnetic interaction will be critical for device performance.
