摘要
Domain structures and switching properties in the free layer of a magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM) cell are studied, based on a micromagnetic simulation model. A primary design of a MRAM cell for 0-1 data storage requires a single domain structure in the free layer. The stability of the single domain structure is analyzed versus the aspect ratio and the thickness of a cell. The data-storage process in these MRAM cells are studied by applying external fields at different angles and different magnitude. The angular dependence of the switching field is simulated and compared with the Stoner-Wohlfarth model. (c) 2005 American Institute of Physics.
