    Abstract: A magnetic device is described. The magnetic device includes a magnetic junction, a spin-orbit interaction (SO) line and a dipole-coupled layer. The magnetic junction includes a free layer. The SO line is adjacent to the free layer, carries a current in-plane and exerts a SO torque on the free layer due to the current passing through the SO line. The free layer being switchable between stable magnetic states using the SO torque. The SO line is between the free layer and the dipole-coupled layer. The dipole-coupled layer is magnetically coupled to the free layer. At least one of the free layer and the dipole-coupled layer has a damping of greater than 0.02.

    Abstract: A system including a racetrack memory layer is described. The racetrack memory layer includes a plurality of bit locations and a plurality of domain wall traps. The bit locations are interleaved with the domain wall traps. Each of the bit locations has a first domain wall speed. Each of the domain wall traps has a second domain wall speed. The first domain wall speed is greater than the second domain wall speed. The first domain wall speed and the second domain wall speed are due to at least one of a Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction variation in the racetrack memory layer, a synthetic antiferromagnetic effect variation in the racetrack memory layer, and a separation distance for the plurality of domain wall traps corresponding to an intrinsic travel distance. The separation distance is less than one hundred nanometers.

The magnetic junction includes free and pinned layers separated by a nonmagnetic spacer layer. The free layer has a free layer perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) energy greater than a free layer out-of-plane demagnetization energy. The free layer also includes a diluted magnetic layer that has a PMA greater than its out-of-plane demagnetization energy. The diluted magnetic layer includes magnetic material(s) and nonmagnetic material(s) and has an exchange stiffness that is at least eighty percent of an exchange stiffness for the magnetic material(s). The SO active layer(s) are adjacent to the free layer. The SO active layer(s) carry a current in-plane and exert a SO torque on the free layer due to the current. The free layer is switchable between stable magnetic states using the SO torque.
