Ultrathin perpendicular free layers for lowering the switching current in STT-MRAM
Tiffany S. Santos, Goran Mihajlovic, Neil Smith +4
The critical current density required for switching the magnetization of the free layer (FL) in a spin-transfer torque magnetic random access memory (STT-MRAM) cell is pro…
Thermal stability for domain wall mediated magnetization reversal in perpendicular STT MRAM cells with W insertion layers
G. Mihajlovic, N. Smith, T. Santos +3
We present an analytical model for calculating energy barrier for the magnetic field-driven domain wall-mediated magnetization reversal of a magneto-resistive random access memory…
Origin of the resistance-area product dependence of spin transfer torque switching in perpendicular magnetic random access memory cells
Goran Mihajlovic, Neil Smith, Tiffany Santos +5
We report on an experimental study of current induced switching in perpendicular magnetic random access memory (MRAM) cells with variable resistance-area products (RAs). Our result…
Measurement of Gilbert damping parameters in nanoscale CPP-GMR spin-valves
Neil Smith, Matthew J. Carey, Jeffrey R. Childress
In-situ, device level measurement of thermal mag-noise spectral linewidths in 60nm diameter CPP-GMR spin-valve stacks of IrMn/ref/Cu/free, with reference and free layer of similar…
Tensor damping in metallic magnetic multilayers
Neil Smith
The mechanism of spin-pumping, described by Tserkovnyak et al., is formally analyzed in the general case of a magnetic multilayer consisting of two or more metallic ferromagnetic (…
Co-resonant enhancement of spin-torque critical currents in spin-valves with synthetic-ferrimagnet free-layer
Neil Smith, Stefan Maat, Matthew J. Carey +1
It is experimentally shown that the critical current for onset of spin-torque instability in current-perpendicular-to-plane spin-valves can be strongly enhanced using "synthetic fe…
