摘要: We study the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) of CoFeB/MgO bilayers in contact with W, Ta, IrMn, and Ti, which have been suggested for use as spin–orbit-torque-related underlayers. The saturation magnetization CoFeB depends on underlayer material used owing to formation a dead layer that affects PMA strength each film. X-ray circular dichroism measurement reveals interfacial intermixing suppresses only orbital moment Fe, whereas it simultaneously both in-plane moments Co.
