Electro-Assisted Magnetization Switching in Asymmetric Spin-Valves

Article Preview

Abstract:

The magnetic and electric properties of Fe/Cu/Fe sandwiches deposited on Si were studied in order to improve the efficiency of such a model of spin transistor with a spin-valve. Evaluations of the energy balance and measurements of current dependence on voltage and applied magnetic field confirmed the possibility of amplification increasing in case of additional effect of current on remagnetization.
