Novel three-dimensional memory devices based on magnetic domains in thin film ferromagnets have high potential to solve long-term memory storing problems. One example is the racetrack memory which is based on current-induced motion of the magnetic domains. The driving force is a spin current injected into the ferromagnetic layer from an underlayer via the spin Hall effect. In addition, the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction plays a major role in order to achieve an efficient motion. We study novel 2D materials to improve the spin Hall efficiency and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. Furthermore, for commercial devices the threshold current to efficiently drive magnetic domain walls needs to be lowered and therefore temperature dependent measurements are performed to gain further understanding of this property.
