A spin-torque transfer memory random access memory (STTMRAM) element, employed in a STTMRAM array, receives electric current for storage of digital information, the STTMRAM element has a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ). The MTJ includes an anti-ferromagnetic (AF) layer, a fixed layer having a magnetization that is substantially fixed in one direction and that comprises a first magnetic layer, an AF coupling layer and a second magnetic layer, a barrier layer formed upon the fixed layer, and a free layer. The free layer is synthetic and has a high-polarization magnetic layer, a low-crystallization magnetic layer, a non-magnetic separation layer, and a magnetic layer, wherein during a write operation, a bidirectional electric current is applied across the STTMRAM element to switch the magnetization of the free layer between parallel and anti-parallel states relative to the magnetization of the fixed layer.
