Spin torque transistor revisited    [PDF]

Takahiro Chiba, Gerrit E. W. Bauer, Saburo Takahashi
This paper reports on the improvement of the differential current gain in the spin-torque transistor based on two independent innovations, viz.the use of magnetic insulators and the spin Hall effect. Since, except for a few examples, spin transistors lack the current gain that is essential for many applications, spintronics and magnetic information technology lack an essential functionality compared to CMOS devices. Here, we show that negative differential resistance and large differential gain is possible in a large region of parameter space of the spin torque transistor. We also demonstrate that functionality is preserved when the control part is replaced by a normal metal film with a large spin Hall angle.
