Abstract

A method for measuring a temperature of magnetic junction switchable using spin transfer. The magnetic junction includes at least one magnetic layer. The method includes measuring a temperature variation of at least one magnetic characteristic for the magnetic layer(s) versus temperature. The method also includes measuring a bias variation in the magnetic characteristic versus an electrical bias for the magnetic junction. This measurement is performed such that spin transfer torque-induced variation(s) in the magnetic characteristic(s) are accounted for. The temperature versus the electrical bias for the magnetic junction is determined based on the temperature variation and the bias variation.
