TLDR
This work demonstrates a spintronic element whose transport characteristics are governed by an antiferromagnet and demonstrates that sensitivity to low magnetic fields can be combined with large, spin-orbit-coupling-induced magnetotransport anisotropy using a single magnetic electrode.
Abstract
Spin-valve structures used in modern hard-drive read heads and magnetic random access memories comprise two ferromagnetic electrodes. It is now shown that antiferromagnets can be used as electrodes in spin valves. The results open a wide range of new possibilities for the choice of materials for spintronics devices.

New perspectives for Rashba spin–orbit coupling

TL;DR: Bychkov and Rashba as discussed by the authors introduced a simple form of spin-orbit coupling to explain the peculiarities of electron spin resonance in two-dimensional semiconductors, which has inspired a vast number of predictions, discoveries and innovative concepts far beyond semiconductor devices.

Large anomalous Hall effect in a non-collinear antiferromagnet at room temperature

TL;DR: Empirical evidence is reported for a large anomalous Hall effect in an antiferromagnet that has vanishingly small magnetization, which could be useful for various applications including spintronics—for example, to develop a memory device that produces almost no perturbing stray fields.

Simple model for thin ferromagnetic films exchange coupled to an antiferromagnetic substrate

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the exchange field of a thin exchange coupled ferromagnetic film reaches a limiting value no matter how large the exchange coupling is, due to domain wall formation in the antiferromagnet.

Tunneling anisotropic magnetoresistance: a spin-valve-like tunnel magnetoresistance using a single magnetic layer.

TL;DR: A new class of spintronic devices in which aspin-valve-like effect results from strong spin-orbit coupling in a single ferromagnetic layer rather than from injection and detection of a spin-polarized current by two coupled ferromagnets is introduced.

Theory of spin torques and giant magnetoresistance in antiferromagnetic metals

TL;DR: In this article, the critical current for order parameter orientation switching can be smaller in the antiferromagnetic case because of the absence of shape anisotropy and because spin torques can act through the entire volume of an Antiferromagnet.
