Abstract

Features of thermally-activated magnetization switching have been studied in a FeCoB nanomagnet using the Néel model. A method of a high-precision measurement of the coercive field, retention time, Δ and the size of the switching nucleation domain has been proposed and experimentally demonstrated using a Hall-probe setup. A high measurement precision, repeatability and reliability are the features of the proposed method. The dependency of the parameters of thermally-activated magnetization switching on the gate voltage and the bias current were studied.
