Low-frequency magnetic noise in micron-scale magnetic tunnel junctions.

چکیده
We have observed low-frequency noise due to quasiequilibrium thermal magnetization fluctuations in micron-scale magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs). This strongly field-dependent magnetic noise occurs within the magnetic hysteresis loops, either as 1/f or Lorentzian (random telegraph) noise. We attribute it to the thermally excited hopping of magnetic domain walls between pinning sites. Our results show that magnetic stability is a crucial factor in reducing the low-frequency noise in small MTJs.

Low-frequency magnetic and resistance noise in magnetic tunnel junctions
We have studied the voltage fluctuations of current-biased, micron-scale magnetic tunnel junctions. We find that the spectral power density is 1/f -like at low frequencies and becomes frequency independent at high frequencies. The frequency-independent background noise is due to Johnson-Nyquist noise and shot noise mechanisms. The nature of the 1/f noise has its origin in two different mechanis...
متن کاملZmuidzinas and Leduc : Quasi - Optical Slot Antenna Sis
We describe a new quasi-optical SIS mixer designed for efficient radiation coupling. The mixer uses a twinslot antenna which has the advantages of a good beam pattern and a low impedance. The radiation and impedance characteristics of the antenna were obtained from a moment-method calculation. Tapered superconducting microstrip transmission lines are used to carry the radiation from the slot an...
متن کاملNoise in MgO barrier magnetic tunnel junctions with CoFeB electrodes: Influence of annealing temperature
Low frequency noise has been measured in magnetic tunnel junctions with MgO barriers and magnetoresistance values up to 235%. The authors investigated the noise for different degrees of crystallization and CoFeB/MgO interface quality depending on the annealing temperature. The authors report an extremely low 1/ f noise, compared to magnetic junctions with Al2O3 barriers. The origin of the low f...

Figure 1: Effect of annealing on tunneling magnetoresistance ratio. Low-noise magnetic sensors (noise spectral density ~ pT/Hz1⁄2) based on magnetic tunnel junctions can be integrated to provide unprecedented clinical information, viz., room-temperature magnetocardiography [1]. The sensors comprise a tunnel junction, a “flux concentrator,” and a mechanism for chopping the input signal with a mi...
متن کاملReduced low frequency noise in electron beam evaporated MgO magnetic tunnel junctions
We compare low frequency noise in magnetic tunnel junctions with MgO barriers prepared by electron-beam evaporation with those prepared by radiofrequency sputtering, both showing a high tunneling magnetoresistance. The normalized noise parameter in the parallel state of junctions with evaporated barriers is at least one order of magnitude lower than that in junctions with sputtered barriers, an...
