Abstract:
We have investigated the current pulse width dependence on current-driven magnetization reversal in double-barrier structures
using GaMnAs-based magnetic tunneling junctions (MTJ) in order to clarify the origin of low threshold current density for
current-driven magnetization reversal. Comparing with the case of single-barrier MTJ, the pulse-width dependence reveals that
threshold current density is reduced by double-barrier MTJ. We confirmed that the threshold current density in the order of
104 A/cm2 is estimated considering the effect of current pulse width.
