Switching of spin structure in an antiferromagnetic device using electric current.

Switching of spin structure in an antiferromagnetic device using electric current. The device temperature rises to the point where thermal as well as electromagnetic (spin torque) effects contribute to switching. The present study provides the first framework to systematically assess the role of each.
