First-principles calculations of perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in Fe1−xCox/MgO(001) thin films
The perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) of Fe1-x Co x thin films on MgO(001) was investigated via first-principles density-functional calculations. Four different configurations were considered based on their ground states: Fe/MgO, Fe12Co4/MgO, Fe10Co6/MgO, and Fe8Co8/MgO. As the Co composition increases, the amplitude of PMA increases first from Fe/MgO to Fe12Co4/MgO, and then decreases in...
متن کاملA perpendicular-anisotropy CoFeB-MgO magnetic tunnel junction.
Magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) with ferromagnetic electrodes possessing a perpendicular magnetic easy axis are of great interest as they have a potential for realizing next-generation high-density non-volatile memory and logic chips with high thermal stability and low critical current for current-induced magnetization switching. To attain perpendicular anisotropy, a number of material systems...
متن کاملThermally robust Mo/CoFeB/MgO trilayers with strong perpendicular magnetic anisotropy
The recent discovery of perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) at the CoFeB/MgO interface has accelerated the development of next generation high-density non-volatile memories by utilizing perpendicular magnetic tunnel junctions (p-MTJs). However, the insufficient interfacial PMA in the typical Ta/CoFeB/MgO system will not only complicate the p-MTJ optimization, but also limit the device densi...
متن کاملHIGH-RESISTIVITY SOFT MAGNETIC THIN FILMS USING CoFe METAL/NATIVE OXIDE MULTILAYERS (INVITED)
Magnetic thin films suitable for gigahertz operation must simultaneously achieve soft properties, high saturation magnetization, and a high resistivity. The recently-introduced metal/native oxide multilayer (MNOM) composite meets these requirements. This system consists of nanogranular high-moment CoxFe100-x layers separated by ultrathin magnetic native oxide layers that isolate the metallic la...
متن کاملEffects of Magnetostriction and Superlattice
The contribution to the magnetic uniaxial perpendicular anisotropy which arises from substrate constraint through magnetostrictive effects has been measured in Ni-Fe and Ni -Co thin films evaporated on substrates at room temperature. This was accomplished by measuring the perpendicular anisotropy before and after removal of the film from the substrate. Data are given for the f cc crystal struct...
