Abstract
A device is disclosed. The device includes a first magnetic layer and a tunnel barrier. The first magnetic layer has a volume uniaxial magnetic crystalline anisotropy. The magnetic moment of the first layer is substantially perpendicular to the first layer. The tunnel barrier is in proximity to the first magnetic layer. The orientation of the magnetic moment of the first magnetic layer is reversed by spin transfer torque induced by current passing between and through the first magnetic layer and the tunnel barrier.
