    Abstract: A magnetic element which can switch states using a relatively low magnetic field. The magnetic element comprises first and second magnetic layers separated by an intermediate layer. The magnetization of the first magnetic layer is fixed in a first direction parallel to the easy axis. The second magnetic layer comprises first and second magnetization vectors which are in opposite directions to create a magnetic boundary therein. The magnetic boundary can be driven out of the second magnetic layer by shifting the boundary along a first or second direction along the easy axis.

    Abstract: A magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) device is configured to store at least two bits of data in a single cell utilizing the variable resistance characteristic of a MTJ. The MTJ includes a soft and two fixed magnetic layers with fixed field directions oriented in perpendicular directions. The soft magnetic layer is separated from the fixed layers by insulating layers preferably with different thicknesses, or with different material compositions. The resulting junction resistance can exhibit at least four distinct resistance values dependent on the magnetic orientation of the free magnetic layer. The cell is configured using a pattern with four lobes to store two bits, and eight lobes to store three bits. The resulting cell can be used to provide a fast, non-volatile magnetic random access memory (MRAM) with high density and no need to rewrite stored data after they are read, or as a fast galvanic isolator.

    Abstract: A magnetoresistive memory element has a stacked structure including: a tunneling barrier made of non-magnetic material, a first magnetic system with a ferromagnetic tunneling junction reference layer barrier having a fixed magnetic moment vector on one side of the tunneling adjacent to the non-magnetic material, and a second magnetic system with a ferromagnetic tunneling junction free layer on an opposite side of the tunneling barrier having a free magnetic moment vector adjacent to the non-magnetic material and forming a magnetoresistive tunneling junction. The tunneling junction free layer is one of a plurality of N ferromagnetic free layers which are antiferromagnetically coupled. The first magnetic system is sandwiched in between the tunneling junction free layer and at least one of the ferromagnetic free layers that are anti-ferromagnetically coupled therewith.

    Abstract: A magnetoresistive memory cell includes a magnetic tunnel junction including first (fixed) and second (free) magnetic regions, where the second magnetic region includes at least two ferromagnetic layers being antiferromagnetically coupled. The magnetoresistive memory cell further includes a switchable ferromagnetic offset field layer being provided with a free magnetic moment vector that is freely switchable between the same and opposite directions with respect to the fixed magnetic moment vector of the first magnetic region. A method of switching a magnetoresistive memory cell includes adiabatic rotational switching, where the memory cell is brought in an active state exhibiting reduced switching fields before its switching and is brought in a passive state exhibiting enlarged switching fields after its switching.

    Abstract: A reference current source for a magnetic memory device is preferably configured with magnetic tunnel junction cells and includes more than four reference magnetic memory cells to improve reliability of the magnetic memory device and to reduce sensitivity at a device level to individual cell failures. The reference current source includes a large number of magnetic memory cells coupled in an array, and a current source provides a reference current dependent on the array resistance. In another embodiment a large number of magnetic memory cells are coupled to current sources that are summed and scaled to produce a reference current source. A current comparator senses the unknown state of a magnetic memory cell. In a further embodiment, an array of magnetic memory cells is configured to provide a non-volatile, adjustable resistance. In a further embodiment, the array of magnetic memory cells is configured with a tap to provide a non-volatile, adjustable potentiometer.
