    Abstract: A method provides a magnetic junction having a top and sides. A first magnetic layer, a nonmagnetic spacer layer and a second magnetic layer are deposited. The nonmagnetic spacer layer is between the first and second magnetic layers. A free layer is one of the magnetic layers. A reference layer is the other of the magnetic layers. The second magnetic layer includes an amorphous magnetic layer having nonmagnetic constituent(s) that are glass-formming. An anneal is performed in a gas having an affinity for the nonmagnetic constituent(s). The gas includes at least one of first and second gases. The first gas forms a gaseous compound with the nonmagnetic constituent(s) The second gas forms a solid compound with the nonmagnetic constituent(s). The second gas is usable if the anneal is performed after the magnetic junction has been defined. The solid compound is at least on the sides of the magnetic junction.

At least one of the first and second magnetic layer(s) is a Heusler layer. The first magnetic layer's perpendicular magnetic anisotropy energy (PMAE) exceeds is out-of-plane demagnetization energy. The second magnetic layer's PMAE exceeds its out-of-plane demagnetization energy. The free layer and/or the pinned layer has a PMAE greater than an out-of-plane demagnetization energy. The free layer is switchable between stable magnetic states when a write current is passed through the magnetic junction.
