Abstract

An article may include a substantially perpendicularly magnetized free layer having a first magnetic orientation in the absence of an applied magnetic field. The article may also include a spin Hall channel layer configured to conduct a spin current configured to subject the perpendicularly magnetized free layer to a magnetic switching torque and a substantially in-plane magnetized bias layer configured to bias the substantially perpendicularly magnetized free layer to a second magnetic orientation. The second magnetic orientation is different than the first magnetic orientation and is out of a plane of the substantially perpendicularly magnetized free layer.
