Abstract

Spin-torque memory is under consideration for high-speed, scalable, non-volatile memory applications. The storage medium is a magnetic layer with an intrinsic anisotropy that favors orientation of the magnetization in either of two directions perpendicular to the film plane. Read-out of the storage layer is based on spin-dependent tunneling from an adjacent magnetic reference layer, while the direct transfer of angular momentum in the form of electron spin is the driving mechanism for switching the magnetization in the storage layer.
