Dependence of switching process on the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy constant in P-MTJ Project supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Grant No. 61332003) and the Natural Science Foundation of Hunan Province, China (Grant No. 2015JJ3024). |
(color online) Typical perpendicular magnetic tunnel junction (P-MTJ) structure of (a) anti-parallel state of MTJ, and (b) parallel state of MTJ. FFree and FPolarizer are the ferromagnetic free layer and fixed layer; the insulator layer is sandwiched between FFree and FPolarizer. The current direction and coordinate system are as shown. |
