Abstract
This paper presents a review and future prospects for the tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) effect in magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) and spin manipulation technologies such as spin-transfer torque (STT) for magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM). Major challenges for ultrahigh-density STT-MRAM with perpendicular magnetization and novel functional devices related to MRAM are discussed.
