High-output CPP-GMR sensor with synthetic-ferrimagnet free layer and enhanced spin-torque critical currents (2008)

Carey, M. J., Smith, Neil, Maat, S., Childress, J. R.

It is shown that the maximum stable output of a CPP-GMR sensor is increased significantly by using a synthetic ferrimagnet free layer, provided the electron current flows from free layer to reference...

Suppression of spin-torque in current perpendicular to the plane spin-valves by addition of Dy cap layers (2008)

Maat, S., Smith, N., Carey, M. J., Childress, J. R.

We demonstrate that the addition of Dy capping layers in current perpendicular to the plane giant magneto-resistive spin-valves can increase the critical current density beyond which spin-torque...

Reorientation Transition in Single-Domain (Ga,Mn)As (2005)

Wang, K-Y., Sawicki, M., Edmonds, K. W., Campion, R. P., Maat, S., Foxon, C. T., ...

We demonstrate that the interplay of in-plane biaxial and uniaxial anisotropy fields in (Ga,Mn)As results in a magnetization reorientation transition and an anisotropic AC susceptibility which is...

Correlation between exchange bias and pinned interfacial spins (2003)

Ohldag, H., Scholl, A., Nolting, F., Arenholz, E., Maat, S., Young, A.T., ...

Using x-ray magnetic circular dichroism, we have detected the very interfacial spins that are responsible for the horizontal loop shift in three different exchange bias sandwiches, chosen because of...
