The effect of thermal fluctuations on spin-transfer switching has been studied for a broad range of time scales (sub-ns to seconds) in a model system, a uniaxial thin film nanomagnet. The nanomagnet is incorporated into a spin-valve…

We study the distribution of switching times in spin-transfer switching induced by sub-ns current pulses in pillar-shaped spin-valves. The pulse durations leading to switching follow a comb-like distribution, multiply-peaked at a few most…

The torque generated by the transfer of spin angular momentum from a spin-polarized current to a nanoscale ferromagnet can switch the orientation of the nanomagnet much more efficiently than a current-generated magnetic field, and is…

We present switching field distributions of spin-transfer assisted magnetization reversal in perpendicularly magnetized Co/Ni multilayer spin-valve nanopillars at room temperature. Switching field measurements of the Co/Ni free layer of…

The magnetization orientation of a nanoscale ferromagnet can be manipulated using an electric current via the spin transfer effect. Time domain measurements of nanopillar devices at low temperatures have directly shown that magnetization…

The current induced magnetization reversal in nanoscale spin valves is a potential alternative to magnetic field switching in magnetic memory devices. We show that the critical switching current can be decreased by an order of magnitude by…

We show that magnetization reversal in spin-injection devices can be significantly faster when using a chirped r.f. rather than d.c current pulse. Alternatively one can use a simple sinusoidal r.f. pulse or an optimized series of…

Magnetization switching due to a current-pulse in symmetric and asymmetric spin valves is studied theoretically within the macrospin model. The switching process and the corresponding switching parameters are shown to depend significantly…

Pulsed spin-torque switching has been studied using single-shot time-resolved electrical measurements in perpendicularly magnetized magnetic tunnel junctions as a function of pulse amplitude and junction size in 50 to 100 nm diameter…

We report on spin valve devices that incorporate both an out-of-plane polarizer (OPP) to quickly excite spin torque (ST) switching and an in-plane polarizer/analyzer (IPP). For pulses < 200 ps we observe reliable precessional switching due…

Using micromagnetics we demonstrate that the r.f. field produced by a spin valve can be used to reverse the magnetization in a magnetic nanoparticle. The r.f. field is generated using a current that specifically excites a uniform spin wave…

It is shown that a pulsed current driven through Ni nanowires provokes an irreversible magnetization reversal at a field distant from the spontaneous switching field $H_{sw}$ by $\Delta H$ of as much as 40 % of $H_{sw}$. The state of the…

We study the precessional switching of the magnetization in microscopic spin valve cells induced by ultra short in-plane hard axis magnetic field pulses. Stable and highly efficient switching is monitored following pulses as short as 140 ps…

Using a three-dimensional focused-ion beam lithography process we have fabricated nanopillar devices which show spin transfer torque switching at zero external magnetic fields. Under a small in-plane external bias field, a field-dependent…

Magnetization reversal in magnetic nanostructures is investigated numerically over time-scales ranging from fast switching processes on a picosecond scale to thermally activated reversal on a microsecond time-scale. A simulation of the…

The continued increase in areal densities in magnetic recording makes it crucial to understand magnetization reversal in nanoparticles. We present finite-temperature micromagnetic simulations of hysteresis in Fe nanopillars with the long…

We address optimization of the spin current intensity profile needed to achieve spin torque switching of a nanomagnet. For systems with Ohmic dissipation we prove that the optimal current drives the magnetization along the trajectory, which…

Spin-transfer magnetic random access memory is of significant interest for cryogenic applications where a persistent, fast, low-energy consumption and high device density is needed. Here we report the low-temperature nanosecond duration…

We report a mechanical effect in spin-valve nanopillars due to spin transfer. A polarized current carrying electron spins transfers torque to local magnetization and leads to a magnetic switching of free layer. Like classical Einstein-de…

We investigate the dynamics of two coupled vortices driven by spin transfer. We are able to independently control with current and perpendicular field, and to detect, the respective chiralities and polarities of the two vortices. For…
