摘要
Ultrafast spin-transfer precessional switching between two stable states of a magnetic random access memory device is demonstrated in structures comprising a perpendicularly magnetized polarizing layer (PL(perpendicular to)), an in-plane magnetized free layer (FL), and an in-plane magnetized analyzing layer (AL) in a PL(perpendicular to)/spacer/FL/spacer/AL stack. Back and forth switching can be achieved with sub-ns current pulses of the same polarity. The spin-torque influence from the analyzer leads to an asymmetric dependence of the switching properties as a function of the current sign and initial state.
