Abstract
Spin–orbit torques (SOTs) in compensated ferrimagnets (FMs) have been widely studied due to their abundant advantages for the application in spintronic devices. Recently, the SOT in FM metals near compensation tuned by composition and temperature has been reported. However, the SOT in FM insulators (FMIs) near compensation still remains elusive. In this work, we report the study of the SOT in FMI near compensation tuned by the temperature. First, Pt/Gd3Fe5O12 (GdIG) bilayer films with high crystallinity and perpendicular magnetic anisotropy were fabricated by magnetron sputtering. Then, the SOT was measured by varying the temperature. It is found that the SOT generation is drastically enhanced close to the compensation temperature, which is verified to be caused by the decrease in the net magnetization. The effective spin Hall angle in Pt/GdIG bilayer films is estimated to be ∼0.0073, which is almost independent of the temperature. Our study provides a potential approach in emerging FMIs for spintronic devices with low-energy consumption.
