    摘要: A material composition for forming a free layer in a STT structure (such as a single or dual MTJ structure) can include CoxFeyMz, where M is a non-magnetic material that assists in forming a good crystalline orientation and matching between the free layer and an MgO interface. The material M preferably either does not segregate to the MgO interface or, if it does segregate to the MgO interface, it does not significantly reduce the PMA of the free layer. The free layer can further include a connecting layer, where M is attracted to the insertion layer during annealing. The free layer can include a graded composition of CoxFeyMz, where z changes within the free layer.

    摘要: A method and system provide a magnetic junction usable in a magnetic device. The magnetic junction includes a first pinned layer having a first pinned layer magnetization, a first nonmagnetic spacer layer, and a free layer having an easy axis. The first nonmagnetic spacer layer is between the first pinned layer and the free layer. 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 and such that the free layer employs precessional switching.

    摘要: A method and system provide a magnetic junction usable in a magnetic device. The magnetic junction includes a pinned layer, a nonmagnetic spacer layer, and a free layer. The nonmagnetic spacer layer is between the pinned layer and the free layer. The free layer has a gradient in a critical switching current density (Jc0) such that a first Jc0 of a first portion of the free layer is lower than a second Jc0 of a second portion of the free layer. The second portion of the free layer is further from the nonmagnetic spacer layer than the first portion is. 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.

    摘要: A magnetic memory includes magnetic memory elements corresponding to magnetic memory cells and at least one shift register. Each magnetic memory element includes a pinned layer, a free layer, and a nonmagnetic spacer layer between the pinned and free layers. The free layer is switchable between stable magnetic states when a write current is passed through the magnetic memory element. The shift register(s) correspond to the magnetic memory elements. Each shift register includes domains separated by domain walls. A domain is antiparallel to an adjoining domain. The shift register(s) are configured such that an equilibrium state aligns a portion of the domains with the magnetic memory elements. The shift register(s) are also configured such that each domain wall shifts to a location of an adjoining domain wall when a shift current is passed through the shift register(s) in a direction along adjoining domains.
