    摘要: A magnetic device including at least a memory cell having a first magnetic layer with a fixed magnetization direction. The first magnetic layer spin polarizes a writing current of electrons. The memory cell includes a second magnetic layer having a three-layered stack with a variable magnetization direction. An insulating or semi-conduction layer is formed between the first and second magnetic layers. The variable magnetization direction is oriented by spins of a spin polarized writing current. The three-layered stack includes two magnetic layers separated by a non-magnetic conducting layer. The first magnetic layer aligns the variable magnetization direction with the fixed magnetization direction by directing an incident writing current of electrons perpendicular through the first magnetic layer and then perpendicular through the second magnetic layer. The first magnetic layer opposes the variable magnetization direction with the fixed magnetization direction by directing another incident writing current of electrons perpendicular through the second magnetic layer and then perpendicular through the first magnetic layer to.

    摘要: Magnetic tunnel junction magnetic device (16) for writing and reading uses a reference layer (20c) and a storage layer (20a) separated by a semiconductor or insulating layer (20b), which can include an antiferromagnetic layer adjacent the storage layer. The blocking temperature of the magnetisation magnetization of the storage layer is less than that of the reference layer. The storage layer is heated (22, 24) above the blocking temperature of its magnetisation magnetization. A magnetic field (34) or a magnetic torque created by the injection of spin polarized electrons is applied (26) to it orientating its magnetization with respect to that of the reference layer without modifying the orientation of the reference layer.
