Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) storage element that includes a reference layer, a tunnel barrier and a free layer on an opposite side of the tunnel barrier layer from the reference layer. The reference layer has a fixed magnetization direction. The free layer includes a first region, a second region and a third region. The third region is formed from a third material that is configured to magnetically couple the first region and the second region. The first region is formed from a first material having a first predetermined magnetic moment, and the second region is formed from a second material having a second predetermined magnetic moment. The first predetermined magnetic moment is lower that the second predetermined magnetic moment.

Abstract: Techniques relate to forming a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ). A synthetic antiferromagnetic reference layer is adjacent to a tunnel barrier layer. The synthetic antiferromagnetic reference layer includes a first magnetic layer, a second magnetic layer, and a reference spacer layer sandwiched between the first magnetic layer and the second magnetic layer. A magnetic free layer is adjacent to the tunnel barrier layer so as to be opposite the synthetic antiferromagnetic reference layer. The synthetic antiferromagnetic reference layer has a thickness of at least one of 3 nanometers (nm), 4 nm, and 3-4 nm.

Abstract: Memory devices and methods of forming the same include forming a memory stack over a bottom electrode. The memory stack has a fixed magnetic layer, a tunnel barrier layer on the fixed magnetic layer, and a free magnetic layer formed on the tunnel barrier layer. A boron-segregating layer is formed directly on the free magnetic layer. The memory stack is etched into a pillar. A top electrode is formed over the pillar.

Abstract: A double magnetic tunnel junction (DMTJ) device includes a fixed reference layer of a first magnetic material having a perpendicular magnetic anisotropy with a magnetic moment that is fixed. The device also includes a free layer of a second magnetic material having a perpendicular magnetic anisotropy with a magnetic moment that is changeable based on a current. A dynamic reference layer of a third magnetic material has an in-plane magnetic anisotropy and a changeable magnetic moment. The free layer is disposed between the fixed reference layer and the dynamic reference layer.

Abstract: A planar magnetic structure includes a closed loop structure having a plurality of core segments divided into at least two sets. A coil is formed about one or more core segments. A first antiferromagnetic layer is formed on a first set of core segments, and a second antiferromagnetic layer is formed on a second set of core segments. The first and second antiferromagnetic layers include different blocking temperatures and have an easy axis pinning a magnetic moment in two different directions, wherein when current flows through the coil, the magnetic moments rotate to form a closed magnetic loop in the closed loop structure.
