Problems solved by technology

When ruthenium (Ru) is used as the spacer material, due to the strong RKKY (Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida) coupling effect of Ru, the interlayer coupling effect of the double-interface structure is significantly improved; however, Ru and the adjacent CoFeB interface Cannot generate strong perpendicular magnetic anisotropy
When tantalum (Ta) or hafnium (Hf) is used as the spacer material, although it can produce strong perpendicular magnetic anisotropy with the CoFeB interface, the magnetic damping coefficient will increase when Ta and Hf are adjacent to ferromagnetic materials.
