"Switching field distributions for a Co/Ninanomagnet with perpendicular magnetization under thermal activationand spin-transfer torques"
Daniel Gopman of New York University presented the development of a model of switching field distributions of Cobalt/Nickel nanomagnets in the presence of spin torque transfer and thermal fluctuations. Co/Ni nanomagnets form a two-state spin transfer device that is appropriate for testing magnetization reversal induced by spin transfer with thermal activation. Gopman modeled experimentally obtained switching field distributions (SFD) as thermal activation over a field-dependent energy barrier that is modified by applied currents. Gopman demonstrates that the SFD well describes the thermally activated reversal of a nanomagnet under spin transfer torques.
