Current-induced hysteretic switching and reversible transition of magnetization in spin-valve structures with current constraint paths in spacer layers

Effect of nano-oxide layers on giant magnetoresistance in pseudo-spin-valves using Co2FeAl electrodes

“…The nano-oxide layers (NOLs) were widely employed in conventional pseudo-SVs (PSVs) to extend the mean free path of majority spin-polarized electrons through specular electron scattering at the NOL/pinned (free) layer interface and enhance GMR ratio [14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. To date, there is no report on NOL-based SVs or PSVs with full-Heusler alloy electrodes.…”

The Impact of the External Magnetic Field on the Resistance-Current Curve of the Deep Submicron Pseudo-Spin-Valve Structure

“…Although CIMS devices can be operated without EMF, the study of CIMS effect in a fixed EMF were still performed experimentally [10], [12]- [17] and theoretically [16] due to the significance not only for the clarification of the physics mechanism but also for the applications, which need to control the critical current of the PSV structure. It is demonstrated that the impact of the EMF on the magnetic configuration switching of PSV structure can be divided into two types: the sharp and irreversible switching at low EMF, and the progressive and reversible switching at high EMF.…”
