Abstract
We investigate spin transfer torque (STT) in magnetic multilayer structures using micromagnetic simulations. We implement the STT contribution for magnetic multilayer structures in addition to the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (LLG) micromagnetic simulators. In addition to the Sloncewski STT term, the zero, first, and second order field-like terms are also considered as well as the effects of the Oersted field due to the running current are addressed. We determine the switching current densities of the free layer with the exchange biased synthetic ferrimagnetic reference layers for various cases.
