Measurement of perpendicular spin torque at high bias via the pulsed switching phase diagram

초록

We report an experimental method to estimate the bias dependence of the perpendicular spin torque in magnetic tunnel junctions. This method utilizes the pulse-width-dependent change in the switching phase diagram and addresses the perpendicular-torque-driven precessional switching at high-bias ranges where the in-plane spin torque acts as an additional damping. The bias dependence of the perpendicular spin torque at high bias was found to be linear for a voltage polarity. This method will be useful to address spin torque effects in magnetic tunnel junctions at high bias.
