| Description | At the moment development has been to provide imaging of phase changes by transmission electron microscopy. This has required detailed sample preparation and has taken up much of the staff effort. However we are now at a stage where meaningful resuts are being obtained and hope to present at international conferences later this year in addition to getting these initla results published. |
| Exploitation Route | The results are the first step in the demonstration of the potential of a magnetic memrsitor device. The ability to control the magnetic state is key and nanoscale charcaterisation by transmission electrin microscopy is playing an invalubale role here. |

| Title | Data associated with "Phase domain boundary motion and memristance in gradient-doped FeRh nanopillars induced by spin injection" |
| Description | The B2-ordered alloy FeRh shows a metamagnetic phase transition, transforming from antiferromagnetic (AF) to ferromagnetic (FM) order at a temperature $T_\mathrm{t} \sim 380 $~K in bulk. As well as temperature, the phase transition can be triggered by many means such as strain, chemical doping, or magnetic or electric fields. Its first-order nature means that phase coexistence is possible. Here we show that a phase boundary in a 300~nm diameter nanopillar, controlled by a doping gradient during film growth, is moved by an electrical current in the direction of electron flow. We attribute this to spin injection from one magnetically ordered phase region into the other driving the phase transition in a region just next to the phase boundary. The associated change in resistance of the nanopillar shows memristive properties, suggesting potential applications as memory cells or artificial synapses in neuromorphic computing schemes. |
