Dynamical behaviour of ultrathin [CoFeB (t CoFeB )/Pd] films with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy

Abstract CoFeB-based ultrathin films with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy are promising for different emerging technological applications such as nonvolatile memories with low power consumption and high-speed performance. In this work, the dynamical properties of [CoFeB (t CoFeB )/Pd (10 Å)]5 mult...
