Abstract :
The effects of thermal fluctuations on the magnetic-field dependence of spin-transfer-induced magnetization reversal was studied using a pinned synthetic antiferromagnet as a reference layer. These effects were analyzed by numerical solution of the thermal-field plus spin-transfer-augmented LLG equations for a single domain free layer.
