A portion of the magnetic junction includes at least one magnetic substructure. The magnetic substructure includes at least one Fe layer and at least one nonmagnetic insertion layer. The at least one Fe layer shares at least one interface with the at least one nonmagnetic insertion layer. Each of the at least one nonmagnetic insertion layer consists of at least one of W, I, Hf, Bi, Zn, Mo, Ag, Cd, Os and In.

The nonmagnetic spacer layer is between the pinned layer and the free layer. The free layer includes a plurality of subregions. Each of the subregions has a magnetic thermal stability constant. The subregions are ferromagnetically coupled such that the free layer has a total magnetic thermal stability constant. The magnetic thermal stability constant is such that the each of the subregions is magnetically thermally unstable at an operating temperature. The total magnetic thermal stability constant is such that the free layer is magnetically thermally stable at the operating temperature. The magnetic junction is configured such that the free layer is switchable between a plurality of stable magnetic states when a write current is passed through the magnetic junction.

    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.

    Abstract: A magnetic device and method for programming the magnetic device are described. The magnetic device includes a plurality of magnetic junctions and at least one spin-orbit interaction (SO) active layer having a plurality of sides. The SO active layer(s) carry a current in direction(s) substantially perpendicular to the plurality of sides. Each of the magnetic junction(s) is adjacent to the sides and substantially surrounds a portion of the SO active layer. Each magnetic junction includes a free layer, a reference layer and a nonmagnetic spacer layer between the pinned and free layers. The SO active layer(s) exert a SO torque on the free layer due to the current passing through the SO active layer(s). The free layer is switchable between stable magnetic states. The free layer may be written using the current and, in some aspects, another current driven through the magnetic junction.
