Efficient Magnetization Reversal with Noisy Currents

Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics 2009-11-11 v1

Abstract

We propose to accelerate reversal of the ferromagnetic order parameter in spin valves by electronic noise. By solving the stochastic equations of motion we show that the current-induced magnetization switching time is drastically reduced by a modest level of externally generated current (voltage) noise. This also leads to a significantly lower power consumption for the switching process.
