Effect of surface modification treatment on top-pinned MTJ with perpendicular easy axis

We investigated the effects of surface modification treatment (SMT) on the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) and the thermal tolerance of top-pinned magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) with a Co/Pt synthetic ferrimagnetic coupling reference layer. Applying an SMT to the bottom Pt layer increased...
