2 Digital data storage Two main types of digital data storage Random access memory Hierarchy of memories SRAM- fast but expensive DRAM- less fast and less expensive Highly reliable but volatile Flash: non-volatile, less expensive, very slow, limited endurance Hard disk drives Massive storage Non-volatile Very cheap Very slow Less reliable!
3 MRAM (Magnetic Random Access Memory) non-volatile high performance cheap compared to other solid state memories expensive compared to hard disk drives Magnetic tunnel junction MT storage elements JA MA VA M2 M1 PC V1 CA IBM-IFX 16 Mbit MRAM chip Challenge: can we build a solid state device with the same cost as a hard disk drive but the performance and reliability of solid state memory?
4 Emerging memory technologies Quantity FRAM PFRAM SiC Bipolar Molecular NanoX tal Flow PCRAM PMC Polymer Perovskite 3DROM Spin MRAM
5 Storage-Class Memory: Domain-Wall Magnetic Shift Register Philosophy Want a solid-state memory with no moving parts which is very cheap and of moderate to high performance Main approaches Make extremely small cells Requires significant engineering developments Current roadmaps suggest that f<30nm will be possible within 5 years, thus making this approach extremely challenging Access multiple bits from one set of logic Similar philosophy used in conventional storage drives and in millipede However we want a solid state memory with no moving parts Recent developments in magnetic materials makes this approach viable and attractive by storing information in domain walls (spatially varying order parameter in homogeneous material) Lots of new science: Spin currents and torque, domain wall fringing fields
6 Vortex and transverse domain wall structures R.D. McMichael and M.J. Donahue, IEEE Trans. Magn. 33, 4167 (1997) Micromagnetic simulations LLG Micromagnetics Simulator Mike Scheinfein Cell size 5 x 5 x 5 nm 3 Vortex wall Increasing width, thickness width 250nm thickness 10 nm Transverse wall width 140nm thickness 5 nm Magnetostatic energy dominates: (shape anisotropy) magnetic moments along the wire head-to-head domain walls Larger structures : more complex DW structures (double vortex, )
7 Domain wall motion θ = 0, φ Current torque on DW t t 0 Massless motion!! θ (Magnetic field pressure on DW, ) t 0, φ t 0 From Sadamichi Maekawa
8 Theory of current-driven domain wall motion Adiabatic vs non adiabatic spin torque DW velocity vs current 1000 electron spins follows local magnetization (wide wall limit) electron spins lags behind magnetization (narrow wall limit) Spin torque amplitude : u (1 m/s J=10 6 A/cm 2 ) Non-adiabatic contribution ~ β u Velocity (m/s) damping α=0.01 DW width 50 nm Hp=1000 Oe u (m/s) β=5α β=α β=α/5 β=0 The adiabatic spin-torque is like a damping term (dissipative) the critical current in intrinsic (related to DW properties) no motion occurs below the critical current turbulent motion occurs above the critical current high velocity The non-adiabatic spin-torque is like a magnetic field (precessional) DW velocity is non-zero for ideal wires the critical current is related to defects (roughness)
9 DW motion under field and current 1280 x 140 x 15 nm 3 Strong damping a=1 Field-driven dynamics Current-driven dynamics time time Magnetic field H=-200 Oe Positive current H= 0 Negative current Field-driven dynamics : neighboring walls move in opposite directions Current driven dynamics : neighboring walls move in the same direction
