Junction size dependence of the heat controlled magnetic anisotropy in magnetic tunnel junctions
Keyword(s):
Abstract We investigated the heat controlled magnetic anisotropy (HCMA) in magnetic tunnel junctions with various junction sizes. We evaluated the HCMA from perpendicular magnetic anisotropy under a direct current voltage measured by the spin-torque diode technique. The maximum HCMA magnitude of 5.4 μJ (Wm)−1 was observed, and the HCMA increased with increasing diameter. Our results can be explained by a simple heat dissipation model and suggest that the in-plane heat current affects HCMA.
