Outline of Final Research Achievements

Inverse-magnetostrictive magnetic tunnel junctions (IMS-MTJs) that consist of a MTJ with a large magnetostrictive ferromagnetic free layer and piezo-electric materials surrounding the MTJs were proposed. The critical current density JC for the magnetization switching of the IMS-MTJs were analyzed by simulation using the LLG equation. JC for the IMS-MTJs can be reduced by 1/10 compared to that for the conventional MTJs, which corresponds to the reduction by 1/400 in the consumption energy. Moreover, SmFe2 films formed by sputtering system were investigated.
