"electrically tunes manipulates ferrimagnetics' magnetic properties without altering composition/ layer thickness... pass current pulses through platinum, iridium manganese, cobalt-gadolinium multilayer thin film, utilizing spin-orbit torque reconfiguring internal spin alignments... lowers compensation temperature by up to 110°K, enabling rapid, ultra-low-power, high-density, non-volatile computer memory magnetization switching... allows fabricated chips' localized magnetic behavior tuning"
