Spin-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 کاملShot noise of spin current and spin transfer torque.
We report the theoretical investigation of the shot noise of the spin current (S(σ)) and the spin transfer torque (S(τ)) for non-collinear spin polarized transport in a spin-valve device which consists of a normal scattering region connected by two ferromagnetic electrodes (MNM system). Our theory was developed using the non-equilibrium Green's function method, and general nonlinear S(σ) - V an...
متن کاملSpin-transfer torque in nanoscale magnetic devices.
We discuss recent highlights from research at Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, regarding the use of spin-transfer torques to control magnetic moments in nanoscale ferromagnetic devices. We highlight progress on reducing the critical currents necessary to produce spin-torque-driven magnetic switching, quantitative measurements of the magnitude and direction of the spin torque in magnetic tu...
متن کاملSpin Transfer Torque: a Multiscale Picture
Due to challenges related to physical and electrical scaling, metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET)-based memory technology is now suffering from increased power leakage and endurance problems. For instance, static random access memory (SRAM) and dynamic random access memory (DRAM) are both volatile, and cannot maintain data when the supplied power is turned off. SRAM has a...
متن کاملNonequilibrium Spin-transfer Torque in SFNFS Junctions
We report theoretical results for the nonequilibrium spin current and spin-transfer torque in voltage-biased SFNFS Josephson structures. The subharmonic gap structures and high voltage asymptotic behaviors of the dc and ac components of the spin current are analyzed and related to the spin-dependent inelastic scattering of quasiparticles at both F layers.
