| dc.description.abstract | Magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJ) are important magnetic elements that are
used as memory and sensor devices. In this thesis, first, the fundamentals of MTJs
were explored by investigating different tunnel barrier materials, then, a new
physical phenomenon called spin transfer torque magnetisation switching (STS) was
investigated in nanopillars with magnesium oxide based MTJs with a view to
reducing the critical current density (Jc) required to switch the magnetisation. This is
a technological challenge at present. | |
