Micromagnetic Simulation of Strain-Assisted Current-Induced Magnetization Switching

We investigated the effect of substrate misfit strain on the current-induced magnetization switching in magnetic tunnel junctions by combining micromagnetic simulation with phase-field microelasticity theory. Our results indicate that the positive substrate misfit strain can decrease the critical cu...
