Observation of spin-transfer switching in deep submicron-sized and low-resistance magnetic tunnel junctions

Yiming Huai, Frank Albert, Paul Nguyen +2

The spin-transfer effect has been studied in magnetic tunnel junctions (PtMn/CoFe/Ru/CoFe/Al2O3/CoFe/NiFe) with dimensions down to 0.1x0.2 um2 and resistance-area product RA in the…
