Abstract

A layered stack includes a first layer having a first spin polarization and a first magnetic moment, as well as a second layer (in contact with the first layer) having a second spin polarization a second magnetic moment. The first and second spin polarizations have the same orientation, but the first and second magnetic moments have orientations that partially cancel each other, thereby recommending the layered stack for applications in magnetic tunnel junctions, for example.
