摘要
Single nonmagnetic/ferromagnetic interfaces can exhibit magnetic excitations and hysteretic switching, provided that the current density traversing the interface is sufficiently high (greater than or similar to 10(8) A/cm(2)) and the flow regime is diffusive. We measure hysteretic switching in conductance induced by nominally unpolarized electron currents in nanocontacts to thin Co films and successfully model the effect for similar to 20 nm scale point contacts using micromagnetic simulations, which take into account an out of plane stress-induced magnetic anisotropy in the point contact region.
