This paper reviews the state of the art in spin-torque and spin-Hall-effect-driven nano-
oscillators. After a brief introduction to the underlying physics, the authors discuss different …

This paper is both a review of some recent developments in the utilization of magnetism for
applications to logic and memory and a description of some new innovations in …

This tutorial article introduces the physics of spin transfer torques in magnetic devices. Our
intention is that it be accessible to beginning graduate students. We provide an elementary …

The recent discovery that a spin-polarized electrical current can apply a large torque to a
ferromagnet, through direct transfer of spin angular momentum, offers the possibility of …

This book emerged from a close collaboration of the authors which started in the fall of 2000.
Early that year one of us (JS) had joined the Stanford faculty after spending nearly 15 years …

We have directly measured coherent high-frequency magnetization dynamics in
ferromagnetic films induced by a spin-polarized dc current. The precession frequency can …

The spin-transfer effect has been studied in magnetic tunnel junctions (PtMn/CoFe/Ru/CoFe/
Al 2 O 3/CoFe/NiFe) with dimensions down to 0.1× 0.2 μ m 2 and resistance–area product …

In this paper, recent developments in magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) are reported with
their potential impacts on integrated circuits. MTJs consist of two metal ferromagnets …

Time-resolved measurements of spin-transfer-induced (STI) magnetization reversal were
made in current-perpendicular spin-valve nanomagnetic junctions subject to a pulsed …

Spin-transfer, in nanometre-scale magnetic devices results from the torque on a ferromagnet
owing to its interaction with a spin-polarized current and the electrons' spin angular …
