    Abstract: A magnetic junction and method for providing the magnetic junction are described. The method includes providing a free layer, providing a pinned layer and providing a nonmagnetic spacer between the free and pinned layers. The free layer is switchable between stable magnetic states using a write current passed through the magnetic junction. At least one of the step of providing the free layer and the step of providing the pinned layer includes depositing a magnetic layer; depositing an adsorber layer on the magnetic layer and performing at least one anneal. The magnetic layer is amorphous as-deposited and includes an interstitial glass-promoting component. The adsorber layer attracts the interstitial glass-promoting component and has a lattice mismatch with the nonmagnetic spacer layer of not more than ten percent. Each of the anneal(s) is at a temperature greater than 300 degrees Celsius and not more than 425 degrees Celsius.

    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 and system for providing a magnetic junction usable in a magnetic device are described. The magnetic junction includes a reference layer, a nonmagnetic spacer layer and a free layer. The nonmagnetic spacer layer is between the reference layer and the free layer. The free layer has a gradient in a magnetic ordering temperature such that a first portion of the free layer has a first magnetic ordering temperature higher than a second magnetic ordering temperature of a second portion of the free layer. The first portion of the free layer is closer to the reference layer than the second portion of the free layer. The magnetic junction is configured such that the free layer is switchable between stable magnetic states when a write current is passed through the magnetic junction.

    Abstract: A magnetic junction usable in magnetic devices is described. The magnetic junction includes at least one reference layer, at least one nonmagnetic spacer layer and a free layer. The nonmagnetic spacer layer(s) are between the reference layer(s) and the free layer. The free layer has a magnetic thermal stability coefficient having a plurality of magnetic thermal stability coefficient phases. A first phase magnetic thermal stability coefficient has a first slope below a first temperature. A second phase magnetic thermal stability coefficient has a second slope above the first temperature and below a second temperature greater than the first temperature. The first and second slopes are unequal at the first temperature. The magnetic thermal stability coefficient is zero only above the second temperature. The free layer is switchable between stable magnetic states when a write current passed through the magnetic junction.
