(color online) Stable average normalized out-of-plane magnetizations, M_z/M_s, with various perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) constants, K_u, for the free layer stable state after switching, initially parallel (P)-states (red curve) and initially antiparallel (AP)-states (blue curve). Three different regimes are indicated and separated by vertical dashed lines. Insets: examples of spatial distribution of the magnetization related to each region. The colors refer to the z component of the magnetization (red positive, blue negative).
