摘要
We summarize our recent findings on how the current-driven magnetization switching in nanofabricated magnetic multilayers is affected by an applied magnetic field, changes of temperature, magnetic coupling between the ferromagnetic layers, variations in the multilayer structure, and the relative rotation of the layers' magnetizations. We show how these results can be interpreted with a model describing current-driven excitations as an effective current-dependent magnetic temperature. (C) 2004 American Institute of Physics.
