Rare-earth-free Ferrimagnetic Mn4N Spintronics

Since the discovery of perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in Mn4N epitaxial films in 2012, Mn4N has attracted much attention as a rare-earth free new spintronics material. The recent record velocity of current-induced magnetic wall motion achieved on Mn4N and compensated Mn4N microstrips at room temperature has attracted a great deal of attention, and spin transfer torques have renewed interest. Mn4N shows interesting phenomena that magnetization and angular momentum compensation due to impu...
