Abstract:
1. A magnetic device comprising: a pinned magnetic layer having a first fixed magnetization vector with a first fixed magnetization direction; a free magnetic layer comprising a first body-centered cubic material and having a variable magnetization vector having at least a first stable state and a second stable state; a first non-magnetic layer spatially separating the pinned magnetic layer and the free magnetic layer and including a second body-centered cubic material that interfaces with the first body-centered cubic material; a reference magnetic layer having a second fixed magnetization vector with a second fixed magnetization direction; and a second non-magnetic layer spatially separating the free magnetic layer and the reference magnetic layer, wherein a magnetic tunnel junction is formed by the free magnetic layer, the second non-magnetic layer, and the reference magnetic layer, wherein application of a current pulse, having a selected amplitude and duration, through the magnetic device switches the variable magnetization vector, and wherein the magnetic tunnel junction is spatially located below the pinned magnetic layer.
