MAGNETIC MEMBER WITH THERMALLY ASSISTED WRITING

摘要

The invention relates to a magnetic member with thermally-assisted magnetic-field writing or thermally-assisted spin-transfer writing, each including: a reference magnetic layer (43) having a fixed direction magnetisation; a storage magnetic layer (40) exchange-trapped with an anti-ferromagnetic layer (41), wherein the magnetisation direction of the storage layer (40) can vary when said member can be heated to a temperature at least higher than the blocking temperature of the anti-ferromagnetic layer (41); an insulation or semiconducting layer (42) or a layer having a confined current path, provided between the reference layer and the storage layer; characterised in that the magnetic member (31) also includes at least one electrically-resistive thin layer (48) for heating the magnetic member.
