摘要：
We report the efficacy of CoFeB/FeNiSiB hybrid ferromagnetic layers as free layers in magnetic tunnel junctions. A junction with a CoFeB (2.25 nm)/FeNiSiB (0.75 nm) free layer exhibited a tunneling magnetoresistance ratio and a resistance-area product value of 130% and 25 Omega mu m(2), respectively. The critical current density for spin transfer torque (STT) switching was 2.3 MA/cm(2). This study suggests that the addition of an amorphous FeNiSiB in the free layer enhances the magnetotransport properties. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics. [http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4709738]
