摘要
Non-collinear antiferromagnetic Weyl semimetals, combining the advantages of a zero stray field and ultrafast spin dynamics, as well as a large anomalous Hall effect and the chiral anomaly of Weyl fermions, have attracted extensive interest. However, the all-electrical control of such systems at room temperature, a crucial step toward practical application, has not been reported. Here, using a small writing current density of around 5 x 10(6) A center dot cm(-2), we realize the all-electrical current-induced deterministic switching of the non-collinear antiferromagnet Mn3Sn, with a strong readout signal at room temperature in the Si/SiO2/Mn3Sn/AlOx structure, and without external magnetic field or injected spin current. Our simulations reveal that the switching originates from the current-induced intrinsic non-collinear spin-orbit torques in Mn3Sn itself. Our findings pave the way for the development of topological antiferromagnetic spintronics.
