Time-resolved spin-torque switching and enhanced damping in permalloy/Cu/permalloy spin-valve nanopillars.
We report time-resolved measurements of current-induced reversal of a free magnetic layer in Permalloy/Cu/Permalloy elliptical nanopillars at temperatures T=4.2 K to 160 K. Comparison of the data to Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert macrospin simulations of the free layer switching yields numerical values for the spin torque and the Gilbert damping parameters as functions of T. The damping is strongly T ...
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 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 کاملSpin-transfer excitations of permalloy nanopillars for large applied currents
Using measurements of the spectra of microwave-frequency resistance oscillations, we determine the roomtemperature phase diagram of magnetic excitations caused by torques from dc spin-polarized currents in thin permalloy /copper/ thick permalloy multilayer samples. We extend the measurements to larger values of current than have been reported previously. We find several additional modes that we...
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...
