dc.descriptionWe show that dipole-field induced antiferromagnetic coupling, or RKKY ferromagnetic coupling, between Co layers can strongly affect the low magnetic field switching behavior of Co/Cu/Co nanopillars. Whereas current-assisted switching at low fields in uncoupled nanopillars is always hysteretic, strong coupling of either kind can change the switching to non-hysteretic (reversible). These differences can be understood with a simple picture of current-assisted thermal activation over a barrier.
