Switching time of spin-torque-driven magnetization in biaxial ferromagnets
arXiv:2001.03300 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevApplied.13.054020
Abstract
We analytically model the magnetization switching time of a biaxial ferromagnet driven by an antidamping-like spin torque. The macrospin magnetization dynamics is mapped to an energy-flow equation, wherein a rational-function approximation of the elliptic integrals for moderate spin current and small damping results in a closed-form expression of the switching time. Randomness in the initial angle of magnetization gives the distribution function of the switching time. The analytic model conforms to the results obtained from Monte Carlo simulation for a broad range of material parameters. Our results can ameliorate design and benchmarking of in-plane spin torque magnetic memory by obviating expensive numerical computation.
