Abstract
Disclosed herein is a thermally-assisted magnetic tunnel junction structure including a thermal barrier. The thermal barrier is composed of a cermet material in a disordered form such that the thermal barrier has a low thermal conductivity and a high electric conductivity. Compared to conventional magnetic tunnel junction structures, the disclosed structure can be switched faster and has improved compatibility with standard semiconductor fabrication processes.
