Spin transport in memristive devices

January 26, 2012
Author(s)
Hyuk-Jae Jang, Oleg A. Kirillov, Oana Jurchescu, Curt A. Richter
We report on electron spin transport through electrochemically precipitated copper filaments formed in TaOX memristive devices consisting of Co(60nm)/TaOX(16nm)/Cu(5nm)/Py(60nm) with crossbar-type electrode geometry.The devices show memristive behavior

Magnetic Tunnel Junctions Fabricated Using Ion Neutralization Energy as a Tool

July 25, 2011
Author(s)
Joshua M. Pomeroy, Holger Grube, Pei-Ling Sun, Yun-Che Wang, Russell E. Lake
The neutralization energy of highly charged ions (HCIs) is used as an intermediate processing step to modify the electrical properties of magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs), providing an additional degree of freedom in the devices’ fabrication. While most

PDH-locked, frequency-stabilized cavity ring-down spectrometer

Joseph T. Hodges, A. Cygan, Piotr Maslowski, Katarzyna E. Bielska, S. Wojtewicz, J. Domyslawska, Hisashi Abe, R.S. Trawinski, R. Ciurylo
We describe a high sensitivity and high spectral resolution laser absorption spectrometer based upon the frequency-stabilized cavity ring-down spectroscopy (FS-CRDS) technique. We used the Pound-Drever-Hall (PDH) method to lock the probe laser to the high

Metrology of Microstructured Waveguides for Spintronic Applications

July 30, 2010

SangHyun S. Lim, Atif A. Imtiaz, Dazhen Gu, Pavel Kabos, Thomas Mitchell (Mitch) Wallis
Patterned permallay films as a part of a coplanar waveguide (CPW) were fabricated, and the magnetization dynamics of such structures was investigated as fundamental building blocks for magnetic spintronic devices. Anisotropic magneto-resistance (AMR)

Two modes behavior of vortex oscillations in spin-transfer nanocontacts subject to in-plane magnetic fields

June 25, 2010
Author(s)
Michaela Kuepferling, Claudio Serpico, Matthew Pufall, William Rippard, Thomas Mitchell (Mitch) Wallis, Atif A. Imtiaz, Pavel Kabos
The field dependence of vortex oscillations in a spin-transfer metallic nanocontact, subject to in-plane, spatially uniform, external fields, is studied by measuring the power spectral density of the voltage across the device. The measured spectra as a

Collimated spin wave beam generated by a single layer, spin torque nanocontact

April 1, 2008
Author(s)
Mark Hoefer, Thomas J. Silva, M D. Stiles
A model of spin-torque-induced magnetization dynamics based on semiclassical spin diffusion theory for a single-layer nanocontact in presented. The model incorporates effects due to the current-induced Oersted field and predicts the generation of a variety

Mechanisms for the multistep spin reorientation of ultrathin Fe films on Gd

March 31, 2003
Author(s)
A P. Popov, A. V. Anisimov, David P. Pappas
The multistep spin reorientation transition of ultrathin iron films on bulk gadolinium is described theoretically. We find that it is necessary to include cubic terms in the magnetic anisotropy energy expansion in order to explain this phenomenon

Spin-Current Induced Magnetotransport in Co/Cu/Co Nanostructures

September 1, 2002
Author(s)
Fred B. Mancoff, Stephen E. Russek
We report measurements on sub-100 nm current-perpendicular-to-place Co/Cu/Co spin-valves. The giant magnetoresistance versus applied magnetic field shows the switching in individual patterned Co nanomagnets. Spin transfer from the spin-polarized current to
