Abstract

A magnetic tunnel junction includes at least one free layer, at least one reference layer, and at least one tunnel barrier separating the free layer and the reference layer, wherein the free layer is an inhomogeneous granular layer including at least two grains, each grain of the at least two grains being sensibly magnetically decoupled from the other adjacent grains of the at least two grains.
