Critical current under an optimal time-dependent polarization direction for Stoner particles in spin-transfer torque induced fast magnetization reversal

Materials Science 2015-06-25 v1

Abstract

Fast magnetization reversal of uniaxial Stoner particles by spin-transfer torque due to the spin-polarized electric current is investigated. It is found that a current with a properly designed time-dependent polarization direction can dramatically reduce the critical current density required to reverse a magnetization. Under the condition that the magnitude and the polarization degree of the current do not vary with time, the shape of the optimal time-dependent polarization direction is obtained such that the magnetization reversal is the fastest.
