4. Fig. 3 Measurement of SOT efficiency (θDL,m) from ST-FMR.
Measurement of SOT efficiency (θDL,m) from ST-FMR. (A) Schematics of measurement setup. The moment m in Py follows an elliptical precession route around the direction of H. It is influenced by two orthogonal torques τFL and τDL. Top right shows the optical image of the device and electrode (dark color). (B) Voltage spectra of L10-IrMn (22)/Py (17) measured from 8 to 12 GHz with nominal input power of 18 dBm. (C) Typical fitting of Vmix at 9 GHz. Vsym and Vasym correspond to the symmetric and antisymmetric components, respectively. (D) Fitting of Kittel equation. (E) θDL,m of L10-IrMn, p-IrMn, and Pt. The error bar describes 1 SD over at least five devices.

5. Fig. 4 Effect of Cu spacer and current direction on SOT efficiency (θDL,m) in L10-IrMn.
Effect of Cu spacer and current direction on SOT efficiency (θDL,m) in L10-IrMn. (A) Vmix (data point) and its fit (line) of L10-IrMn (22)/Cu (0, 0.5, 1)/Py (13) at 9 GHz. The voltage spectrum is scaled for a clearer comparison. (C) Vmix (data point) and its fit (line) of devices on L10-IrMn (22)/Py (13) at 9 GHz. The angle refers to the orientation of the microstrip in the film plane relative to the [100] direction of the L10-IrMn lattice. The insets of (A) and (C) show the extracted θDL,m. (B and D) Linear fit of linewidths against frequency for devices in (A) and (C), respectively. Inset shows the extracted damping constant (α). The plot of the 0° device is too scattered and is therefore replaced by the 67.5° device in (D).

6. Fig. 5 In-plane angle dependence of SOT efficiency (θDL,m) and resonance condition (Hres).
In-plane angle dependence of SOT efficiency (θDL,m) and resonance condition (Hres). (A) Schematic illustration of device orientation. The blue rectangle illustrates that multiple devices are patterned from the same continuous film. (B, D, and F) Normalized θDL,m at 9 GHz of p-IrMn (22)/Py (13), L10-IrMn (22)/Py (13), and L10-IrMn (22)/Cu (0.5)/Py (13), respectively. (C, E, and G) Normalized resonant fields (Hres) at 9 GHz of devices in (B), (D), and (F) respectively. The angle refers to the orientation of the microstrip in the film plane relative to the [100] direction for L10-IrMn samples and an arbitrary axis for the p-IrMn sample.
