Figure 2: (a) Thermal stability factor of the novel quad-MTJ structure compared with those with the conventional double-MTJ structure. (b) Writing current density of 33nm-diameter quad MTJs ...

An MTJ has a laminated structure consisting of a nanoscale insulating layer, called a tunnel barrier, sandwiched between two magnetic layers. One of the most important performance indexes of an ...

In this week's Applied Physics Letters, researchers have succeeded in applying MgGa2O4 to a tunnel barrier, the core part of an MTJ, as an alternative material to more conventional insulators ...
