    Abstract: An MTJ memory cell and/or an array of such cells is provided wherein each such cell has a small circular horizontal cross-section of 1.0 microns or less in diameter and wherein the ferromagnetic free layer of each such cell has a magnetic anisotropy produced by a magnetic coupling with a thin antiferromagnetic layer that is formed on the free layer. The MTJ memory cell so provided is far less sensitive to shape irregularities and edge defects than cells of the prior art.

    Abstract: An exchange coupling film including an antiferromagnetic layer and a ferromagnetic layer in contact with the antiferromagnetic layer so as to generate an exchange coupling magnetic field is provided. A PtMn alloy is used as the material of the antiferromagnetic layer. Crystal planes of the antiferromagnetic layer and the ferromagnetic layer preferentially aligned parallel to the interface are crystallographically identical and crystallographically identical axes lying in these crystal planes are oriented, at least partly, in different directions between the antiferromagnetic layer and the ferromagnetic layer. Thus, a proper order transformation occurs in the antiferromagnetic layer as a result of heat treatment and an increased exchange coupling magnetic field can be obtained.

    Abstract: The invention is used in the field of materials engineering and relates to antiferromagnetic layer systems and methods for magnetically storing data, which can be used, for example, in computer hard disks. The object of the invention is to disclose an antiferromagnetic layer system and methods with the aid of which a specific writing and reading of information is possible in such antiferromagnetic layer systems. The object is attained through an antiferromagnetic layer system, comprising at least one ferromagnetic and at least one antiferromagnetic layer, whereby the Curie temperature of the ferromagnetic layer material is greater than the blocking temperature of the antiferromagnetic layer material and in which the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic layer(s) are coupled to one another at least with regard to their magnetization configuration by means of exchange anisotropy effects, and in which the layer thickness of the antiferromagnetic layer(s) is a function of the operating temperature of the employed antiferromagnetic layer system, whereby the layer thicknesses likewise increase with increasing operating temperatures.
