Spin-torque building blocks. (2014, background): “Indeed, this effect, which was predicted in 1996 [4] [5] and first observed around 2000 [6] [7] [8] [9] allows for the efficient manipulation of magnetic configurations without the assistance of external magnetic fields, (not compatible with downscaling) through a simple transfer of angular momentum”
Interface-Induced Phenomena in Magnetism (2016, positive): “This effect was observed in trilayer magnetic structures with the current flowing perpendicularly, initially in metallic pillars such as Co=Cu=Co (Katine et al., 2000; Grollier et al., 2001) and then in magnetic tunnel junctions with low-resistance tunnel barriers (Fuchs et al.”
Spin-polarised currents and magnetic domain walls (2005, positive): “The Orsay group were amongst the first to reproduce the Cornell spin-transfer torque results using nanopillars fabricated from Co/Cu/Co trilayer structures [422], clearly demonstrating that oppositely directed currents at a high enough density could couple the layers either ferromagnetically or anti”
