Spin-transfer assisted thermally activated switching distributions in perpendicularly magnetized spin valve nanopillars
We present switching field distributions of spin-transfer assisted magnetization reversal in perpendicularly magnetized Co/Ni multilayer spin-valve nanopillars at room temperature. Switching field measurements of the Co/Ni free layer of spin-valve nanopillars with a 50 nm× 300 nm ellipse cross section were conducted as a function of current. The validity of a model that assumes a spin-current d...
متن کاملSpin-Torque-Driven Vortex Dynamics in Nanopillars with In-Plane or Out-of-Plane Polarizers
We studied two types of nanopillar spin-valves: one using an in-plane magnetized polarizer layer and one using a perpendicular polarizer. Both types of devices contain a magnetic vortex in the second magnetic layer. Under direct current (DC) bias, the devices with in-plane polarizer exhibit persistent microwave oscillations that are characterized by two oscillation peaks and long timescale, dis...
متن کاملSpin Transfer in Magnetic Nanopillars
This thesis describes experimental studies of spin-transfer induced magnetization switching and dynamics in bilayer magnetic nanopillars. Known as the spin transfer effect, a spin-polarized current can transfer its angular momentum to a magnetic layer, resulting in its reversal as well as microwave dynamics. It has become a major focus in both physics and technology. Our nanostructured spin val...
متن کاملA novel design to realize deterministic switching of perpendicularly magnetic layers by spin orbital torque through antiferromagnetic coupling
We proposed a novel and simple multilayer structure to realize the deterministic switching of perpendicularly magnetized layers (Co in our work) by spin orbital torque from the spin Hall Effect in this paper. A pinned layer is introduced, antiferromagnetically coupled to the magnetic Co layer. We have confirmed the deterministic switching of perpendicularly magnetized layers from perspectives o...
متن کاملEnhancing current-induced torques by abutting additional spin polarizer layer to nonmagnetic metal layer
Recently, the switching of a perpendicularly magnetized ferromagnet (FM) by injecting an in-plane current into an attached non-magnet (NM) has become of emerging technological interest. This magnetization switching is attributed to the spin-orbit torque (SOT) originating from the strong spin-orbit coupling of the NM layer. However, the switching efficiency of the NM/FM structure itself may be i...
