摘要:

理解垂直磁化的磁性隧道结纳米柱中由自旋转移矩引起的磁化动力学及其对材料参数的依赖性对于优化器件性能至关重要。在这里,我们提出了一个微磁学研究的自旋扭矩开关在盘形元件作为自由层的交换常数和磁盘直径的函数。开关一般发生1)增长的磁化进动幅度在元件中心; 2)的不稳定性,其中的反转区域移动到磁盘边缘,形成一个磁畴壁;和3)的磁畴壁的运动在整个元件。对于大直径和小交换,步骤1导致具有经历漂移不稳定性的完全反转核心的液滴(步骤2)。而在相反的情况下(小直径和大交换),在步骤2发生之前,盘的中心区域没有完全反转。微磁结构的起源被证明是磁盘的非均匀退磁场。更快、更一致和更节能的切换发生在更大的交换机和更小的磁盘直径上,显示了提高设备性能的途径。

英文摘要:

Understanding the magnetization dynamics induced by spin transfer torques in perpendicularly magnetized magnetic tunnel junction nanopillars and its dependence on material parameters is critical to optimizing device performance. Here we present a micromagnetic study of spin-torque switching in a disk-shaped element as a function of the free layer's exchange constant and disk diameter. The switching is shown to generally occur by 1) growth of the magnetization precession amplitude in the element center; 2) an instability in which the reversing region moves to the disk edge, forming a magnetic domain wall; and 3) the motion of the domain wall across the element. For large diameters and small exchange, step 1 leads to a droplet with a fully reversed core that experiences a drift instability (step 2). While in the opposite case (small diameters and large exchange), the central region of the disk is not fully reversed before step 2 occurs. The origin of the micromagnetic structure is shown to be the disk's non-uniform demagnetization field. Faster, more coherence and energy efficient switching occur with larger exchange and smaller disk diameters, showing routes to increase device performance.
