Spin injection in a single metallic nanoparticle: a step towards nanospintronics
A. Bernand-Mantel, P. Seneor, N. Lidgi +8
We have fabricated nanometer sized magnetic tunnel junctions using a new nanoindentation technique in order to study the transport properties of a single metallic nanoparticle. Cou…
Magnetization reversal by injection and transfer of spin: experiments and theory
A. Fert, V. Cros, J. -M. George +7
Reversing the magnetization of a ferromagnet by spin transfer from a current, rather than by applying a magnetic field, is the central idea of an extensive current research. After…
Switching a spin-valve back and forth by current-induced domain wall motion
J. Grollier, P. Boulenc, V. Cros +4
We have studied the current-induced displacement of a domain wall (DW) in the permalloy (Py) layer of a Co/Cu/Py spin valve structure at zero and very small applied field. The disp…
Switching the magnetic configuration of a spin valve by current induced domain wall motion
J. Grollier, D. Lacour, V. Cros +5
We present experimental results on the displacement of a domain wall by injection of a dc current through the wall. The samples are 1 micron wide long stripes of a CoO/Co/Cu/NiFe c…
Enhancement of the magnetic anisotropy of nanometer-sized Co clusters: influence of the surface and of the inter-particle interactions
F. Luis, J. M. Torres, L. M. Garcia +6
We study the magnetic properties of spherical Co clusters with diameters between 0.8 nm and 5.4 nm (25 to 7500$ atoms) prepared by sequential sputtering of Co and Al2O3. The partic…
