Manipulating Current-Induced Magnetization Switching
arXiv:cond-mat/0409085 · doi:10.1063/1.1844813
Abstract
We summarize our recent findings on how current-driven magnetization switching and magnetoresistance in nanofabricated magnetic multilayers are affected by varying the spin-scattering properties of the non-magnetic spacers, the relative orientations of the magnetic layers, and spin-dependent scattering properties of the interfaces and the bulk of the magnetic layers. We show how our data are explained in terms of current-dependent effective magnetic temperature.
