We report first-principles analysis on the bias dependence of spin-transfer torque (STT) in Fe/MgO/Fe magnetic tunnel junctions. The in-plane STT changes from linear to nonlinear dependence as the bias voltage is increased from zero. The…
We present a detailed study of the spin-torque diode effect in CoFeB/MgO/CoFe/NiFe magnetic tunnel junctions. From the evolution of the resonance frequency with magnetic field at different angles, we clearly identify the free-layer mode and…
We report on first-principles calculations of spin-transfer torque (STT) in epitaxial magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) based on ferrimagnetic tetragonal Mn$_3$Ga electrodes, both as analyzer in an Fe/MgO stack, and also in an analogous…
Spin-transfer ferromagnetic resonance (ST-FMR) in symmetric magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) with a varied thickness of the MgO tunnel barrier (0.75 nm < $t_{MgO}$ < 1.05 nm) is studied using the spin-torque diode effect. The application of…
We present a study of the spin transfer torque oscillator based on CoFeB/MgO/CoFeB asymmetric magnetic tunnel junctions. We observe microwave precession in junctions with different thickness of the free magnetization layer. Taking advantage…
We demonstrate the reduction of critical spin-transfer torque (STT) switching currents in Co-Fe-B/MgO based magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJ) with perpendicular magnetization anisotropy (PMA). The junctions yield tunnel magnetoresistance…
We have developed and optimized two categories of spin transfer torque magnetic tunnel junctions (STT-MTJs) that exhibit a high tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) ratio, low critical current, high outputpower in the micro watt range, and…
