A magnetic random access memory includes a substrate, a free layer and a spacer layer. The substrate and the free layer are made of a vertical anisotropy ferrimagentic thin film. The spacer layer is sandwiched between the substrate and the free layer and is made of an insulating layer. The method uses a modified Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation to obtain a critical current value as a function of exchange coupling constant. The critical current value is predictable under several external magnetic fields being applied. When the exchange coupling constant is proportionally varied, the critical current value is reduced to a third of its original value under an optimum state.

A method of measuring sub-micrometer hysteresis loops of a magnetic film is provided. First, a magnetic field is applied to a sample of a magnetic film, and a polarization microscope is used to observe an analytical area of the sample. Next, the observed dynamic video is converted to many digital pictures stored in chronological order. Then, the grayscale values of each selected pixel are read and converted to the corresponding relative magnetic moments, and hysteresis loops of each selected pixel are drawn.

In A method for measuring a dimensionless coupling constant of a magnetic structure includes the following steps. A step of applying an external vertical magnetic field is performed for enabling magnetic moments of a RE-TM (Rare Earth-Transition metal) alloy magnetic layer of the magnetic structure to be vertical and saturated. A step of measuring a compensation temperature is performed when the sum of the magnetization of the RE-TM alloy magnetic layer is zero. A step of applying an external parallel magnetic field to the RE-TM alloy magnetic layer is performed. A step of adjusting the temperature of the magnetic structure to the compensation temperature and measuring a hysteresis loop of the magnetic structure under the external parallel magnetic field is performed, wherein the inverse of the slope of hysteresis loop is a dimensionless coupling constant.
