Spin-transfer torque induced reversal in magnetic domains
Using the complex stereographic variable representation for the macrospin, from a study of the nonlinear dynamics underlying the generalized Landau-Lifshitz(LL) equation with Gilbert damping, we show that the spin-transfer torque is effectively equivalent to an applied magnetic field. We study the macrospin switching on a Stoner particle due to spin-transfer torque on application of a spin pola...
متن کاملCurrent-induced switching of perpendicularly magnetized magnetic layers using spin torque from the spin Hall effect.
We show that in a perpendicularly magnetized Pt/Co bilayer the spin-Hall effect (SHE) in Pt can produce a spin torque strong enough to efficiently rotate and switch the Co magnetization. We calculate the phase diagram of switching driven by this torque, finding quantitative agreement with experiments. When optimized, the SHE torque can enable memory and logic devices with similar critical curre...
متن کاملSpin-transfer torque switching in magnetic tunnel junctions and spin-transfer torque random access memory
We present experimental and numerical results of current-driven magnetization switching in magnetic tunnel junctions. The experiments show that, for MgObased magnetic tunnelling junctions, the tunnelling magnetoresistance ratio is as large as 155% and the intrinsic switching current density is as low as 1.1× 10 A cm. The thermal effect and current pulse width on spin-transfer magnetization swit...
متن کاملSidewall oxide effects on spin-torque- and magnetic-field-induced reversal characteristics of thin-film nanomagnets.
The successful operation of spin-based data storage devices depends on thermally stable magnetic bits. At the same time, the data-processing speeds required by today's technology necessitate ultrafast switching in storage devices. Achieving both thermal stability and fast switching requires controlling the effective damping in magnetic nanoparticles. By carrying out a surface chemical analysis,...
متن کاملGiant thermal spin-torque-assisted magnetic tunnel junction switching.
Spin-polarized charge currents induce magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) switching by virtue of spin-transfer torque (STT). Recently, by taking advantage of the spin-dependent thermoelectric properties of magnetic materials, novel means of generating spin currents from temperature gradients, and their associated thermal-spin torques (TSTs), have been proposed, but so far these TSTs have not been la...
