Summary of Research

Our research focuses on the theoretical and computational modeling of spintronic materials and devices, with an emphasis on ultrafast magnetization dynamics, spin-orbit torque (SOT) switching, and their applications in memory and neuromorphic computing. We have open-sourced all our code on GitHub, e.g., the macrospin model, the atomistic model. We believe this will push us to be more rigorous in research. Others can verify our results and explore further based on our work. Our device models are also verified through our active collaborations with experimental groups.

A central theme of our work is developing rigorous models for ferrimagnets, whose coupled sublattices and temperature-dependent behavior cannot be accurately described by conventional ferromagnetic theories. We advanced this area by building frameworks that range from modified Landau-Lifshitz-Bloch equations to 1D, 2D, and 3D atomistic spin models. These studies revealed the mechanisms of spin-torque-driven switching in ferrimagnets, including the roles of compensation temperatures (PRB 97, 184410 (2018)), spatially nonuniform reversal (Nat. Elec., 3, 37 (2020); PRB 106, 184419 (2022)), domain wall motion (APL 124, 012405 (2024)), and vertical solitons (PRL 135, 126703 (2025)). These works not only explained key experimental observations, but also enabled new concepts for ultrafast memory and terahertz signal generation (Phys. Rev. Appl., 13, 034040 (2020)).

We have also made significant contributions to understanding SOT-driven dynamics in antiferromagnets, including noncollinear kagome systems such as Mn3Sn and collinear or weakly canted systems such as NiO and α-Fe2O3. By constructing detailed atomistic and crystal-sensitive models, we clarified switching mechanisms that had remained controversial, especially the dependence on spin-polarization configuration, crystalline orientation, and torque symmetry. Our results established more suitable switching geometries for antiferromagnetic memory applications (PRB 109, 134433 (2024)), explained robust experimental signals in polycrystalline Mn3Sn (APL 127, 022407 (2025)), and showed how noncollinearity and magnetic nonuniformity can be exploited for deterministic control of antiferromagnetic order (under review).

In ferromagnets, we revisited the physical picture behind SOT switching in nanoscale perpendicular devices. We identified why the widely used analytical model overestimates the switching current and proposed a refined switching mechanism based on smooth magnetization evolution and reversal of precession chirality (PRB, 110 184428 (2024)). This new model achieved much better agreement with experiments and resolved a longstanding discrepancy between theory and measurement.

Beyond spin dynamics, we extended these physical insights into emerging computing technologies. In neuromorphic computing, we proposed and analyzed spintronic neurons with electrically tunable, trainable activation functions, showing that device physics can directly support learning algorithms similar to batch normalization (Chin. Sci. Bull., 70, 1920 (2025)). This approach improved both recognition accuracy and training speed, and was later verified in experiments (ACS Nano, 18, 29469 (2024)). At the circuit level, we developed compact Verilog-A models for the integration of MTJ and transistos (JMMM 611, 172614 (2024), 2025 VLSI TSA) and used them to design spintronic memory and compute-in-memory architectures, including a 4T2MTJ SOT-MRAM cell that combines storage and logic with strong energy and area advantages.

Overall, our research bridges fundamental spin dynamics, predictive multiscale modeling, and practical device and circuit design, helping establish the physical principles needed for next-generation spintronic memory and hardware-efficient artificial intelligence.
