Abstract

A multilayered magnetic free layer structure is provided that includes a first magnetic free layer and a second magnetic free layer separated by a non-magnetic layer in which the first magnetic free layer is composed of an ordered magnetic alloy. The ordered magnetic alloy provides a first magnetic free layer that has low moment, but is strongly magnetic. The use of such an ordered magnetic alloy first magnetic free layer in a multilayered magnetic free layer structure substantially reduces the switching current needed to reorient the magnetization of the two magnetic free layers.
