    Abstract: A magnetic junction and method for providing the magnetic junction are described. The method includes providing a pinned layer, a nonmagnetic spacer layer and a free layer switchable between stable magnetic states. The nonmagnetic spacer layer is between the pinned and free layers. Providing the pinned layer and/or providing the free layer includes cooling a portion of the magnetic junction, depositing a wetting layer while the portion of the magnetic junction is cooled, oxidizing/nitriding the wetting layer and depositing a boron-free magnetic layer on the oxide/nitride wetting layer. The portion of the magnetic junction is cooled to within a temperature range including temperature(s) not greater than 250 K. The wetting layer has a thickness of at least 0.25 and not more than three monolayers. The wetting layer includes at least one magnetic material. The boron-free magnetic layer has a perpendicular magnetic anisotropy energy greater than an out-of-plane demagnetization energy.

    Abstract: A magnetic tunnel junction device and a method to make the device are disclosed. The magnetic tunnel junction device comprises a first reference magnetic material layer, a tunnel barrier material layer, a free magnetic material layer between the first reference magnetic material layer and the tunnel barrier material layer, and a second reference magnetic material layer disposed on an opposite side of the tunnel barrier material layer from the free magnetic material layer, in which the second reference magnetic material layer is anti-magnetically exchanged coupled with the first reference magnetic material layer. A shift field Hshift experienced by the free magnetic material layer is substantially canceled by the anti-magnetic exchange coupling between the first reference magnetic material layer and the second reference magnetic material layer.

    Abstract: A method for providing a magnetic junction usable in a magnetic device and the magnetic junction are described. The method includes providing a free layer, a pinned layer and a nonmagnetic spacer layer between the free layer and the pinned layer. The free layer is switchable between a plurality of stable magnetic states when a write current is passed through the magnetic junction. At least one of the step of providing the free layer includes a first plurality of steps and the step of providing the pinned layer includes a second plurality of steps. The first and second plurality of steps include depositing a portion of a layer, depositing a sacrificial layer, annealing the portion of the magnetic junction under the sacrificial layer, and depositing a remaining portion of the layer. The layer may be the free layer, the pinned layer, or both.
