Stability of magnetic tunnel junctions
When magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJ) are built into a memory device they will be arranged in a matrix; therefore some of the not addressed elements will be exposed to a significant field during the switching of one element. It has to be avoided that the state of not selected MTJ is changed during this process. Here we present data on the stability of MTJ against small fields which occur during ...
متن کاملSecond order anisotropy contribution in perpendicular magnetic tunnel junctions
Hard-axis magnetoresistance loops were measured on perpendicular magnetic tunnel junction pillars of diameter ranging from 50 to 150 nm. By fitting these loops to an analytical model, the effective anisotropy fields in both free and reference layers were derived and their variations in temperature range between 340 K and 5 K were determined. It is found that a second-order anisotropy term of th...
متن کاملFirst-principles modelling of magnetic tunnel junctions
Magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJ) are promising candidates for applications in spintronic devices such as magnetic random access memories, read heads and sensors [1]. The MTJs consist of two ferromagnetic layers separated by an insulating barrier layer. The physical quantity measured for signal detection is the tunnelling magnetoresistance (TMR), i.e. the relative difference in the resistance bet...

متن کاملRapid thermal annealing study of magnetoresistance and perpendicular anisotropy in magnetic tunnel junctions based on MgO and CoFeB
The tunneling magnetoresistance and perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in CoFeB(1.1-1.2 nm)/ MgO/CoFeB(1.2-1.7 nm) junctions were found to be very sensitively dependent on annealing time. During annealing at a given temperature, decay of magnetoresistance occurs much earlier compared to junctions with in-plane magnetic anisotropy. Through a rapid thermal annealing study, the decrease of magnetor...
