    Abstract: A free ferromagnetic data storage layer of an MRAM cell is coupled to a free ferromagnetic stabilization layer, which stabilization layer is directly electrically coupled to a contact electrode, on one side, and is separated from the free ferromagnetic data storage layer, on an opposite side, by a spacer layer. The spacer layer provides for the coupling between the two free layers, which coupling is one of: a ferromagnetic coupling and an antiferromagnetic coupling.

    Abstract: A conductive write line of a memory device includes a resistive heating portion for setting and resetting a phase-change material (PCM) storage cell of the device. A dielectric interface extends between the resistive heating portion of the write line and a side of the storage cell, and provides electrical insulation while allowing for thermal coupling between the resistive heating portion and the storage cell. A width of the resistive heating portion of the write line may be less than a width of the storage cell and/or may be less than a width of adjacent portions of the write line, between which the resistive heating portion extends. The side of the storage cell may define a channel of the storage cell through which the write line passes, such that the resistive heating portion is located within the channel.

    Abstract: A spin-torque probe microscope and methods of using the same are described. The spin-torque probe microscope includes a cantilever probe body, a magnetic tip disposed at a distal end of the cantilever probe body, an electrically conductive sample disposed proximate to the magnetic tip, an electrical circuit providing a spin-polarized electron current to the electrically conductive sample, and a vibration detection element configured to sense vibration frequency of the cantilever probe body. The spin-polarized electron current is sufficient to alter a local electron spin or magnetic moment within the electrically conductive sample and be sensed by the magnetic tip.

    Abstract: A memory unit includes a giant magnetoresistance cell electrically coupled between a write bit line and a write source line. The giant magnetoresistance cell includes a free magnetic layer separated from a first pinned magnetic layer by a first non-magnetic electrically conducting layer. A magnetic tunnel junction data cell is electrically coupled between a read bit line and a read source line. The magnetic tunnel junction data cell includes the free magnetic layer separated from a second pinned magnetic layer by an oxide barrier layer. A write current passes through the giant magnetoresistance cell to switche the giant magnetoresistance cell between a high resistance state and a low resistance state. The magnetic tunnel junction data cell is configured to switch between a high resistance state and a low resistance state by magnetostatic coupling with the giant magnetoresistance cell, and be read by a read current passing though the magnetic tunnel junction data cell.

    Abstract: Spin torque magnetic memory elements that have a pinned layer, two free layers, and a current-blocking insulating layer proximate to at least one of the free layers. The resistive state (e.g., low resistance or high resistance) of the memory elements is altered by passing electric current through the element in one direction. In other words, to change from a low resistance to a high resistance, the direction of electric current is the same as to change from a high resistance to a low resistance. The elements have a unidirectional write scheme.
