Magnetic element electrode lamination

摘要

Various embodiments may be generally directed to a magnetic element capable of optimized magnetoresistive data reading. Such a magnetic element may be configured at least with a magnetoresistive stack that has an electrode lamination having at least a transition metal layer disposed between a magnetically free layer of the magnetoresistive stack and an electrode layer of the electrode lamination.
