Fabrication of a multistrip magnetic/nonmagnetic structure in a thin sandwiched Ni layer [Si(5 nm)/Ni(10 nm)/Si] by a focused ion beam (FIB) irradiation has been attempted. A control experiment was initially performed by irradiation with a…

Perpendicular magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJ) with a bottom pinned reference layer and a composite free layer (FL) are investigated. Different thicknesses of the FL were tested to obtain an optimal balance between tunneling…

We explore the impact of Fe80B20 inserted at both Co$_{20}$Fe$_{80}$B$_{20}$/MgO interfaces of dual-MgO free layers (FLs) in bottom-pinned magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs). MTJ stacks are annealed for 30 min at 350 $^\circ$C and 400…

Magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) are key components of spintronic devices, such as magnetic random-access memories. Normally, MTJs consist of two ferromagnetic (FM) electrodes separated by an insulating barrier layer. Their key functional…
