| contents | Enabling field-free current-induced switching of perpendicular magnetization is essential for advancing spin-orbit-torque magnetic random access memory technology. Our research on the Pt/Co/Ru/RuO2(101) system has successfully demonstrated field-free switching through current injection along the RuO2[010] axis. We discovered that the system exhibits a tilted easy axis, inclined from the out-of-plane towards the RuO2[-101] direction. The application of current perpendicular to this tilted axis generates a substantial out-of-plane effective field, which facilitates field-free magnetization switching. Our results also indicate that adjusting the thickness of the Ru layer to optimize the tilt angle can significantly reduce the critical switching current density. This work provides a viable strategy for controlling the tilting magnetization, essential for the development of RuO2-based magnetic devices. |
