We conducted a detailed study of hard axis magnetic field (Hhard)
dependence on current-induced magnetization switching (CIMS) in MgO-based
magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) with various junction sizes and various
uniaxial anisotropy fields. The decreases in critical current density
(Jc) and the intrinsic critical current density (Jc0) estimated from
the pulse duration dependence on Jc in CIMS are observed when applying
Hhard for all MTJs. The decrease in energy barrier of CIMS is also
observed except for the largest sample. These results indicate that the
reduction of Jc is attributable to both the increase of spin-transfer
efficiency and the decrease in energy barrier in the case of applying
Hhard. The Jc0 decreases with increase in the mutual angle between
the direction of magnetization and the easy axis (θf),
which is consistent with the theoretical prediction proposed by Slonczewski.
The degree of the reduction of Jc0 for the same value of Hhard
decreases with decreasing size of MTJs. This behavior is considered to be
related to not only decrease in θf due to the increase in
anisotropy field in MTJs, but also to the increase in the variance of the
initial angle of magnetization due to the thermally activated magnon
excitation. The stable switching endurance related to CIMS was observed in a
wide range of MTJ sizes when applying Hhard. Moreover, we proposed a new
architecture and a new switching method considering write disturbance. These
results would be useful for application to spin memory and other
spin-electronic devices. 相似文献

Spin torque transfer structures with new spin switching configurations are
proposed, fabricated and investigated in this paper. The non-uniform
current-induced magnetization switching is implemented based on both GMR and
MTJ nano devices. The proposed new spin transfer structure has a hybrid free
layer that consists of a layer with conductive channels (magnetic) and
non-conductive matrix (non-magnetic) and traditional free layer(s). Two
mechanisms, a higher local current density by nano-current-channels and a
non-uniform magnetization switching (reversal domain nucleation and growth)
by a magnetic nanocomposite structure, contribute in reducing the switching
current density. The critical switching current density for the new spin
transfer structure is reduced to one third of the typical value for the
normal structure. It can be expected to have one order of magnitude or more
reduction for the critical current density if the optimization of materials
and fabrication processes could be done further. Meanwhile, the thermal
stability of this new spin transfer structure is not degraded, which may
solve the long-standing scaling problem for magnetic random access memory
(MRAM). This spin transfer structure, with the proposed and demonstrated new
spin switching configurations, not only provides a solid approach for the
practical application of spin transfer devices but also forms a unique
platform for researchers to explore the non-uniform current-induced
switching process. 相似文献

Field-and Current-Driven Magnetization Reversal and Dynamic Properties of CoFeB-MgO-Based Perpendicular Magnetic Tunnel Junctions 下载免费PDF全文

We report a perpendicular magnetic tunnel junction(p MTJ) cell with a tunnel magnetoresistance(TMR) ratio of nearly 200% at room temperature based on Co Fe B/Ta/Co Fe B as the free layer(FL) and a synthetic antiferromagnetic(SAF) multilayer [Pt/Co]/Ru/[Pt/Co]/Ta/Co Fe B as the reference layer(RL). The field-driven magnetization switching measurements show that the p MTJs exhibit an anomalous TMR hysteresis loop. The spin-polarized layer Co Fe B of SAF-RL has a lower critical switching field than that of FL. The reason is related to the interlayer exchange coupling(IEC) through a moderately thick Ta spacer layer among SAF-RLs, which generates a moderate and negative bias magnetic field on Co Fe B of RL. However, the IEC among RLs has a negligible influence on the current-driven magnetization switching of FL and its magnetization dynamics. 相似文献

MRAM relevant to current induced magnetization switching (CIMS) is studied due to thermal increment caused by CIMS. In this paper, the instability of storage and the thermal increment caused by the transient current from the HBM ESD in nanopillars of MRAM are studied. We determine the voltage which can cause erroneous switching in MRAM by inducing CIMS. The finite element method is used to calculate the temperature increase caused by the discharge. Results indicate that this voltage is not sufficient to cause permanent physical or magnetic damage to MRAMs but only affects the reliability of the stored information. 相似文献

Spin-transfer induced ultrafast precessional switching of magnetization in a Co/Cu/Co nanopillar device is studied. Micromagnetic calculations show that precessional magnetization switching occurs above a threshold current. The presence of interface uniaxial anisotropy in the Co-thin film free layer influences heavily the current and the energy required to initiate the switching in the device, and the speed of the precessional switching. The threshold current and the precessional switching time are significantly reduced by this effect. 相似文献

The temperature dependence of current-induced magnetization switching of ferrimagnetic CoGd free layers in spin valves is explored. At temperatures well above and well below the magnetization compensation temperature (T(MC)) of CoGd, a current flowing from the free layer to the CoFe fixed layer aligns the moments of the two layers parallel, and a current flowing in the opposite direction aligns them antiparallel. However, for intermediate temperatures just above T(MC), the current-induced alignment of the moments is reversed. We attribute this effect to the different compensation temperatures of the net magnetization and angular momentum of CoGd. 相似文献

We have investigated the current-induced magnetization switching in an exchange-biased spin valve structure. By using an unpatterned antiferromagnetic layer to pin the fixed Co layer, we obtained a lower switching current density by a factor of 5 than a simple spin valve structure. For the application, it is important to know how to keep the spin polarization when the thicker layer is pinned by an antiferromagnet. The unpatterned pinned ferromagnetic lead can be a good solution for spin-transfer-torque-activated device. The effect of Cu buffer layer on the top of the thin Co and Ru buffer layer under the thick Co layer on the current-induced magnetization switching in cobalt-based trilayer spin valves was also investigated. The experimental results showed that the Ru buffer layer in combination with Cu buffer layer could induce a decrease in the critical switching current by 30%, and an increase in the absolute resistance change by 35%, which is caused by an improvement of a microstructure of a thicker Co polarizer. 相似文献

Spin valves composed of TbCo/CoFe/Cu/CoFe/TbFeCo were fabricated with perpendicular magnetization and GMR ratios of 4.5%. The (TbCo/CoFe) layers and (CoFe/TbFeCo) layers are referred to the free and the pinned layers, respectively. The compositions of two layers were chosen to have a lower Curie temperature (130 °C) but higher coercivity (13.2 kOe) of the free layer at room temperature than those of the pinned layer; therefore, the free layer is quite stable at room temperature but its magnetization can be easily switched at a relatively low temperature. Spin valves were patterned into 100-μm-wide cells and their coercivity was reduced with increasing writing current due to the temperature rise by current-heating. When the current density of the writing current was increased to 2.1×106 A/cm2, the required switching field for the free layer was only 10 Oe. 相似文献

The reversal process of the Fe interface layer magnetization in Fe/AlGaAs heterostructures is measured directly using magnetization-induced second-harmonic generation, and is compared with the reversal of the bulk magnetization as obtained from magneto-optic Kerr effect. The switching characteristics are distinctly different due to interface-derived anisotropy--single step switching occurs at the interface layer, while two-jump switching occurs in the bulk Fe for the magnetic field orientations employed. The angle between the interface and bulk magnetization may be as large as 40-85 degrees. Such interface switching will dominate the behavior of nanoscale structures. 相似文献

A spintronics neuron device based on voltage-induced strain is proposed.The stochastic switching behavior,which can mimic the firing behavior of neurons,is obtained by using two voltage signals to control the in-plane magnetization of a free layer of magneto-tunneling junction.One voltage signal is used as the input,and the other voltage signal can be used to tune the activation function(Sigmoid-like) of spin neurons.Therefore,this voltage-driven tunable spin neuron does not necessarily use energy-inefficient Oersted fields and spin-polarized current.Moreover,a voltage-control reading operation is presented,which can achieve the transition of activation function from Sigmoid-like to Re LU-like.A three-layer artificial neural network based on the voltage-driven spin neurons is constructed to recognize the handwritten digits from the MNIST dataset.For the MNIST handwritten dataset,the design achieves 97.75% recognition accuracy.The present results indicate that the voltage-driven adaptive spintronic neuron has the potential to realize energy-efficient well-adapted neuromorphic computing. 相似文献

The effect of magnetic properties on magnetization dynamics is studied for a spin torque oscillator (STO) composed of a free layer with an in-plane magnetic anisotropy and a reference layer with a fixed out-of plane magnetization. A transition from damped to uniform oscillations is observed for a critical value of saturation magnetization MS). In the uniform oscillations regime, the frequency is inversely proportional to MS. Similarly, the critical current for achieving uniform oscillations is investigated as a function of free layer intrinsic properties. In a second part of the study, the magnetostatic field (Hm) from the reference layer is considered and it is revealed that the out-of plane component of magnetization has a strong dependence on Hm. For a particular configuration, Hm could reduce the out-of plane component maximizing thus the out-put signal of the STO. 相似文献

Dependence of switching process on the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy constant in P-MTJ 下载免费PDF全文
We investigate the dependence of the switching process on the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy(PMA) constant in perpendicular spin transfer torque magnetic tunnel junctions(P-MTJs) using micromagnetic simulations. It is found that the final stable states of the magnetization distribution of the free layer after switching can be divided into three different states based on different PMA constants: vortex, uniform, and steady. Different magnetic states can be attributed to a trade-off among demagnetization, exchange, and PMA energies. The generation of the vortex state is also related to the non-uniform stray field from the polarizer, and the final stable magnetization is sensitive to the PMA constant. The vortex and uniform states have different switching processes, and the switching time of the vortex state is longer than that of the uniform state due to hindrance by the vortex. 相似文献

Influence of thickness on current-induced magnetization switching in L1_0-FePt single layer 下载免费PDF全文
《中国物理 B》2021,30(10):107101-107101
The thickness dependent spin–orbit torque(SOT) in an L1_0-Fe Pt single layer is investigated in this work. As the thickness increases from 8 nm to 16 nm, the magnetization switching ratio in the L1_0-Fe Pt film with higher chemical ordering becomes smaller. It is noted that compared with 3-nm-thick L1_0-Fe Pt film, 8-nm-thick L1_0-Fe Pt film can switch much magnetization with the increase of chemical ordering. When the Fe Pt film is thick enough, the SOT in Fe Pt is closely related to the L1_0-ordered structure, which indicates a bulk nature. Therefore, the disordering plays an important role in the magnetization switching only for the ultra-thin Fe Pt films, while the structural gradient may play an important role for thicker films. However, both of the two mechanisms cannot fully explain the process of magnetization switching and the spin current generation. Although many factors influence SOT, here in this work we emphasize only the bulk nature of strong SOC in L1_0-Fe Pt through density functional theory calculations, which should generate large spin current due to spin Hall effect. 相似文献

We demonstrate a quasiballistic switching of the magnetization in a microscopic magnetoresistive memory cell. By means of time resolved magnetotransport, we follow the large angle precession of the free layer magnetization of a spin valve cell upon application of transverse magnetic field pulses. Stopping the field pulse after a 180 degrees precession rotation leads to magnetization reversal with reversal times as short as 165 ps. This switching mode represents the fundamental ultrafast limit of field induced magnetization reversal. 相似文献

With the development of spintronics,spin-transfer torque control of magnetic properties receives considerable attention.In this paper the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation including the torque term is used to investigate the magnetic moment dynamics in the free layer of the ferromagnet/non-magnetic/ferromagnet(FM1/N/FM2) structures.It is found that the reverse critical time τ_c decreases with the current increasing.The critical time τ_c as a function of current for the perpendicular and parallel easy magnetic axes are the same.The critical time τ_c increases with the damping factor α increasing.In the case of large current the influence of the damping factor α is smaller,but in the case of little torque the critical time τ_c increases greatly with the damping increasing.The direction of the magnetization in the fixed layer influences the critical time,when the angle between the magnetization and the z direction changes from 0.1π to 0.4π,the critical time τ_c decreases from 26.7 to 15.6. 相似文献
