Low voltage local strain enhanced switching of magnetic tunnel junctions

Suyogya Karki, Jaesuk Kwon, Joe Davies +5

Strain-controlled modulation of the magnetic switching behavior in magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) could provide the energy efficiency needed to accelerate the use of MTJs in memo…

Magnetoresistive Sensor Detectivity: A Comparative Analysis

J. E. Davies, J. D. Watts, J. Novotny +2

We report on the noise performance characteristics of magnetic sensors using both magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) and giant magnetoresistance (GMR) elements. Each sensor studied has…

Effective anisotropy gradient in pressure graded [Co/Pd] multilayers

B. J. Kirby, P. K. Greene, B. B. Maranville +2

A vertically graded anisotropy profile has been proposed as an optimized balance of low coercivity and thermal stability for multilayers used in magnetic media. Deposition pressure…

The influence of structural disorder on magnetic domain formation in perpendicular anisotropy thin films

M. S. Pierce, J. E. Davies, J. J. Turner +10

Using a combination of resonant soft x-ray scattering, magnetometry, x-ray reflectivity and microscopy techniques we have investigated the magnetic properties and microstructure of…

Vertically Graded Anisotropy in Co/Pd Multilayers

B. J. Kirby, J. E. Davies, Kai Liu +5

Depth-grading of magnetic anisotropy in perpendicular magnetic media has been predicted to reduce the field required to write data without sacrificing thermal stability. To study t…

Reduction of spin transfer by synthetic antiferromagnets

N. C. Emley, F. J. Albert, E. M. Ryan +5

Synthetic antiferromagnetic layers (SAF) are incorporated into spin transfer nanopillars giving a layer composition [Co(bottom)/Ru/Co(fixed)]/Cu/Co(free), where square brackets ind…
