We study the use of in-plane magnetized free layers with artificially lowered effective
magnetization, in the context of spin-torque random access memories with magnetic tunnel junctions. We determine the field-voltage window for direct overwrite switching and thermal stability. We relate them to the magnetic constants extracted from the telegraph...

We study spin-torque induced oscillations of MgO magnetic tunnel junctions in the time domain. By using the Hilbert transform on the time traces, we obtain for the first time a direct experimental measure of the coupling between the power and the phase fluctuations. We deduce the power restoration rate and we obtain low values for the coupling stre...

We demonstrate spin-torque induced coherent auto-oscillation in magnetic tunnel junctions of composition PtMn/CoFe/Ru/CoFeB/MgO/CoFeB and of low resistance-area product. At the generation threshold, we observe a strong line narrowing down to 6 MHz at 300 K and a dramatic increase in oscillator power, yielding spectrally pure oscillations with extre...
