Ever since the first observation of all-optical switching magnetization in ferrimagnetic alloy GdFeCo using femtosecond laser pulses, there has been significant interest exploiting this process for data-recording applications. In particular, ultrafast speed magnetic reversal can enable writing speeds associated with memory devices to be potentially pushed towards THz frequencies. This work reports development perpendicular tunnel junctions incorporating a stack Tb/Co nanolayers whose...
Magnetic random access memories (MRAMs) are a new non-volatile memory technology trying establish itself as mainstream technology. MRAM cell operation using thermally assisted writing scheme (TA-MRAM) is described in this review well its main design challenges. This approach compared to conventional MRAM, highlighting the improvements write selectivity, power consumption and thermal stability. The TA-MRAM was tested validated dynamic regime down 500 ps pulses. heating process investigated...
Spin tunnel junctions with tunneling magnetoresistance of 36.5%±0.5%, resistance-area product 35±6 kΩ×μm2, and junction area between 6 75 μm2 were fabricated. The barrier height is 2.5±0.3 eV the thickness 7.7±0.3 Å. Large (TMR) values are obtained by vacuum anneal (at temperatures from 100 to 240 °C for over 5 h) prepared as-deposited TMR 21%±1.7%, an 25±6 kΩ×μm2. Two regimes occur during anneal. first one occurs anneals up 200 where resistance increase, but parameters unaltered. second...
An asymmetry in the interfacial anisotropies of Pt/Co and Co/Pt interfaces was observed Pt/Co/Pt sputtered trilayers, anisotropy arising from bottom interface being significantly higher than that top one. Interdiffusion at is believed to be main factor for this asymmetry. It dramatically decreases stack when cobalt layer thinner 1 nm. By introducing ultrathin layers materials immiscible with Co acting as a diffusion barrier interface, effective can doubled low thickness range. This great...
This paper is focused on thermally assisted magnetic random access memories (TA-MRAMs). It explains how the heating produced by Joule dissipation around tunnel barrier of junctions (MTJs) can be used advantageously to assist writing in MRAMs. The main idea apply a pulse junction simultaneously with field (field-induced (TA) switching). Since current also provides spin-transfer torque (current-induced TA switching), lines removed increase storage density TA-MRAMs. Ultimately, induced...
A new approach to increase the downsize scalability of perpendicular STT-MRAM is presented.

This observation gives insight into interplay magnetism sets framework for development new analytical tools to investigate ultrafast...
Magnetic skyrmions are topological spin textures which envisioned as nanometer scale information carriers in magnetic memory and logic devices. The recent demonstrations of room temperature their current induced manipulation ultrathin films were first steps toward the realization such However, important challenges remain regarding electrical detection low-power nucleation skyrmions, required for read write operations. Here, we demonstrate, using operando microscopy experiments, a single...
We evidence multiple coherent precessional magnetization reversal in microscopic spin valves. Stable, reversible, and highly efficient switching is triggered by transverse field pulses as short 140 ps with energies down to 15 pJ. At high fields a phase found revealing periodic transitions from nonswitching under variation of pulse parameters. the low limit existence relaxation dominated regime established allowing amplitudes below quasistatic threshold.
We demonstrate a quasiballistic switching of the magnetization in microscopic magnetoresistive memory cell. By means time resolved magnetotransport, we follow large angle precession free layer spin valve cell upon application transverse magnetic field pulses. Stopping pulse after $180\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}$ rotation leads to reversal with times as short 165 ps. This mode represents fundamental ultrafast limit induced reversal.
A thermally assisted writing procedure is proposed in a tunnel junction based magnetic random access memory cell. The layers of the are both exchange-biased with antiferromagnetic layers, reference layer having much higher blocking temperature than storage layer. In operating mode, current pulse sent through generates enough heat to raise above its temperature, without affecting pinning concept demonstrated here for an isolated using homogeneous external field.
We demonstrate that the effective magnetic anisotropy of sputtered (Co/Pt) multilayers can be doubled by limiting interdiffusion occurring at Co/Pt interfaces. present a way to decrease inserting an ultra-thin Cu layer or near When such material is on Co prior Pt deposition, perpendicular anisotropy, as well thermal stability, enhanced for thicknesses smaller than 1 nm. This great interest out-of-plane magnetized spintronic devices which require high down-size scalability reasons together...
This letter presents a study of perpendicular anisotropy in Co/Ni multilayers, which could constitute thick polarizer spin torque oscillators or magnetic electrode tunnel junctions (MTJ) with anisotropy.

By fitting these an analytical model, the effective anisotropy fields in both free and reference layers derived their variations temperature range between 340 K 5 determined. It is found that a second-order term form −K 2 cos 4 θ must be added conventional uniaxial –K 1 explain experimental data. This higher order contribution exists layers. At T =...
In magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJ), synthetic antiferromagnets (SAF) are usually used as reference layer to minimize dipolar interactions induced between this and the free (FL). We show here that use of SAF allows us reduce asymmetry FL reversal due stray fields in nanosized MTJs with perpendicular anisotropy.
Spin-electronics is a very rapidly expanding area of R&D which merges magnetism and electronics (Nobel Prize 2007). Since the discovery giant magnetoresistance in 1988, several breakthroughs have further boosted this field (spin-valves 1990, tunnel 1995, spin transfer 1996, voltage controlled magnetic properties 2004). The phenomenon spin-transfer particularly attractive both from fundamental applied view points. It provides new way to manipulate magnetisation nanostructures by...
