摘要
We present a Ru-based synthetic antiferromagnet (SAF) made with asymmetric ferromagnetic building blocks (Pt/Co/Ir or Ir/Co/Pt) to couple their interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) with strong interlayer exchange coupling (IEC). This combination may lead to new types of antiferromagnetic domain walls (DWs), which are conceptually presented in this letter. These include an energetically frustrated configuration and an "isolated" spin chain where a net magnetization exists only at the DW. While most SAF designs incorporate a Co/Ru/Co IEC layer, chiral SAFs require Pt and/or Ir at the Ru/Co interface. In all cases except Pt/Ru/Pt, a significant IEC field is preserved over a range of Ru thicknesses, with the largest occurring for Ir/Ru/Ir. These results demonstrate that ferromagnetic film stacks with purportedly strong DMI can be incorporated into SAFs without compromising IEC.
