Manipulating Current-Induced Magnetization Switching
S. Urazhdin, H. Kurt, M. AlHajDarwish +3
We summarize our recent findings on how current-driven magnetization switching and magnetoresistance in nanofabricated magnetic multilayers are affected by varying the spin-scatter…
Current-Induced Magnetization Switching in Permalloy-based Nanopillars with Cu, Ag, and Au
H. Kurt, R. Loloee, W. P. Pratt +1
We compare magnetoresistances (MR) and switching currents (I_s) at room temperature (295K) and 4.2K for Permalloy/N/Permalloy nanopillars undergoing current-induced magnetization s…
Changes in magnetic scattering anisotropy at a ferromagnetic/superconducting interface
K. Eid, H. Kurt, W. P. Pratt +1
We show that some metals and alloys (X = Cu, Ag, FeMn, or Cu and Ag combined with each other), sputtered between ferromagnetic Co and superconducting Nb, produce no change in curre…
Effect of Antiferromagnetic Interlayer Coupling on Current-Assisted Magnetization Switching
S. Urazhdin, H. Kurt, W. P. Pratt +1
We compare magnetization switching in Co/Cu/Co nanopillars with uncoupled and dipole-field coupled Co layers. In uncoupled nanopillars, current-driven switching is hysteretic at lo…
