The thermally activated magnetization reversals in magnetic nanodevices have been theoretically investigated. This kind of thermal fluctuations is found to be the dominant cause of intrinsic write error in magnetoresistive random access memory elements, on which our study is aimed. Calculations are performed in the Stoner–Wohlfarth model assuming a single-domain free layer magnetization. The thermal fluctuations as a form of random telegraph noise in output voltage level are systematically characterized in both the time and frequency domains. The relationship of the thermal fluctuations with the free layer magnetic property, temperature and external magnetic field has been established.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
