Efficient generation of spin–orbit torques is central for the exciting field of spin-orbitronics.
Platinum, the archetypal spin Hall material, has the potential to be an outstanding provider …

Nanoscale magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) devices can efficiently convert thermal energy in
the environment into random bitstreams for computational modeling and cryptography. We …

We use time-resolved measurement and modeling to study the spin-torque induced motion
of a domain wall in perpendicular anisotropy magnets. We show that the most important …

We investigate experimentally the time evolution of the magnetization reversal in spin-
transfer torque driven perpendicular magnetoresistive memory cells in the diameter range of …

Understanding the spin-transfer magnetization switching mechanisms of perpendicular
magnetic tunnel junction nanopillars is critical to optimizing their performance in memory …

We review work by the authors on thermal activation in nanoscopic magnetic systems.
These systems present unique difficulties in analyzing noise-induced escape over a barrier …
