A ferromagnetic free layer, a preparation method and an application thereof are provided, where the ferromagnetic layer includes a magnetic film alloy, and the magnetic film alloy includes multiple layers of laminated films. A thickness of each of the films decreases gradually from a first end to a second end of the magnetic film alloy, so as to break in-plane structural symmetry of the magnetic film alloy, and the films include heavy metal films and ferromagnetic metal films, where out-of-plane crystal symmetry of the magnetic film alloy is broken by means of component gradients. When a current is applied in plane of the magnetic film alloy, a spin orbit torque will be generated, which directly drives the magnetic moment of the magnetic film alloy to undergo a deterministic magnetization reversal.
A ferromagnetic free layer, comprising a magnetic film alloy, wherein the magnetic film alloy have a first horizontal direction y and a second horizontal direction x perpendicular to the first horizontal direction y and comprises a plurality layers of films laminated in a vertical direction z, which is perpendicular to the first horizontal direction y and the second horizontal direction x, and a thickness of each of the films decreases gradually from a first end to a second end of the magnetic film alloy in the first horizontal direction y;
A preparation method of a ferromagnetic free layer, comprising:
A ferromagnetic free layer, comprising a magnetic film alloy, wherein the magnetic film alloy comprises a plurality layers of laminated films, which are formed through obliquely sputtering for respective sputtering times by a magnetron sputtering apparatus arranged at a predetermined oblique angle so that a thickness of each of the films decreases gradually from a first end to a second end of the magnetic film alloy;
