Spin Transfer Switching and Spin Polarization in Magnetic Tunnel Junctions with Mgo and Alox Barriers
Zhitao Diao, Dmytro Apalkov, Mahendra Pakala +2
We present spin transfer switching results for MgO based magnetic tunneling junctions (MTJs)with large tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) ratio of up to 150% and low intrinsic switc…

Spin-Polarized Current Induced Torque in Magnetic Tunnel Junctions
A. Kalitsov, I. Theodonis, N. Kioussis +3
We present tight-binding calculations of the spin torque in non-collinear magnetic tunnel junctions based on the non-equilibrium Green functions approach. We have calculated the sp…

Critical Current Distribution in Spin Transfer Switched Magnetic Tunnel Junctions
Mahendra Pakala, Yiming Huai, Thierry Valet +2
The spin transfer switching current distribution within a cell was studied in magnetic tunnel junction based structures having alumina barriers with resistance-area product (RA) of…
