A microparticle includes an oblong flexible tail able to propel the microparticle in a solution along a trajectory using beats transverse to the trajectory, the tail including at least one magnetic element such that the magnetic element causes beats of the tail under the action of an external alternating magnetic field non-collinear with the trajectory and a head mechanically connected to a proximal end of the tail. The microparticle includes at least one layer of material formed from one piece and including the tail and the head, the dimensions and/or shape of the head being selected such that the beats of the proximal end of the tail are limited with respect to the beats of the distal end of the tail and such that the head does not perform a complete revolution around an axis parallel to the trajectory under the effect of the external alternating magnetic field.

This radio-frequency oscillator includes a magnetoresistive device in which a spin-polarized electric current flows. This device comprises a stack of at least a first so-called “anchored” magnetic layer having a fixed magnetization direction, a second magnetic layer, an amagnetic layer inserted between the above-mentioned two layers, intended to ensure magnetic decoupling of said layers. The oscillator also comprises means of causing a flow of electrons in said layers perpendicular to these layers and, if applicable, of applying an external magnetic field to the structure. The second magnetic layer has an excitation damping factor at least 10% greater than the damping measured in a simple layer of the same material having the same geometry for magnetic excitation having wavelengths equal to or less than the extent of the cone or cylinder of current that flows through the stack that constitutes the magnetoresistive device.

According to this method for producing a magnetic tunnel junction, a film of a dielectric material capable of acting as a tunnel barrier is deposited between two nanocrystalline or amorphous magnetic films. The dielectric material constituting the tunnel barrier consists of an at least partially crystalline perovskite, and said material is deposited by ion beam sputtering in a vacuum chamber.

This magnetic memory with a thermally-assisted write, every storage cell of which consists of at least one magnetic tunnel junction, said tunnel junction comprising at least:one magnetic reference layer, the magnetization of which is always oriented in the same direction at the time of the read of the storage cell;one so-called “free” magnetic storage layer, the magnetization direction of which is variable;one insulating layer sandwiched between the reference layer and the storage layer.The magnetization direction of the reference layer is polarized in a direction that is substantially always the same at the time of a read due to magnetostatic interaction with another fixed-magnetization layer called the “polarizing layer”.

The device comprises two magnetoresistive elements (10, 20) placed relative to each other in magnetostatic interaction in such a manner that a magnetic flux passing between these elements (10, 20) closes through soft ferromagnetic layers (26, 27) of said elements (10, 20). A write device (15) is associated with the elements (10, 20) to control the magnetization of each soft layer (26, 27). A read conductor line (11, 12, 13, 14) is associated with each magnetoresistive element (10, 20) to detect the magnetic state of the soft layer (26, 27) by measuring the corresponding magnetoresistance. The soft ferromagnetic layers (26, 27) of the elements (10, 20) remain oriented substantially in antiparallel relative to each other, while the hard ferromagnetic layers (24) of said elements (10, 20) are oriented substantially in parallel.

A magnetic device includes a magnetic reference layer with a fixed magnetisation direction located either in the plane of the layer or perpendicular to the plane of the layer, a magnetic storage layer with a variable magnetisation direction, a non-magnetic spacer separating the reference layer and the storage layer and a magnetic spin polarising layer with a magnetisation perpendicular to that of the reference layer, and located out of the plane of the spin polarising layer if the magnetisation of the reference layer is directed in the plane of the reference layer or in the plane of the spin polarising layer if the magnetisation of the reference layer is directed perpendicular to the plane of the reference layer. The spin transfer coefficient between the reference layer and the storage layer is higher than the spin transfer coefficient between the spin polarising layer and the storage layer.
