Canted Magnetization Texture in Ferromagnetic Tunnel Junctions
arXiv:0808.2358 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.78.184425
Abstract
We study the formation of inhomogeneous magnetization texture in the vicinity of a tunnel junction between two ferromagnetic wires nominally in the antiparallel configuration and its influence on the magnetoresistance of such a device. The texture, dependent on magnetization rigidity and crystalline anisotropy energy in the ferromagnet, appears upon an increase of ferromagnetic inter-wire coupling above a critical value and it varies with an external magnetic field.
