Abstract
A method and system provide a magnetic junction usable in a magnetic device and which resides on a substrate. The magnetic junction includes a reference layer, a nonmagnetic spacer layer, and a free layer. The nonmagnetic spacer layer is between the reference layer and the free layer. The free layer, the nonmagnetic spacer layer and the reference layer form nonzero angle(s) with the substrate. The magnetic junction is configured such that the free layer is switchable between a plurality of stable magnetic states when a write current is passed through the magnetic junction.
