Reduction of critical current density for out-of-plane mode oscillation in a mag-flip spin torque oscillator using highly spin-polarized Co2Fe(Ga0.5Ge0.5) spin injection layer

TL;DR: In this paper, a spin torque oscillator comprised of a perpendicular spin injection layer (SIL) and a planar field generating layer was used to reveal the influence of spin polarization of SIL material on the critical current density, JC, to induce microwave oscillation.

Generalized Gradient Approximation Made Simple

TL;DR: A simple derivation of a simple GGA is presented, in which all parameters (other than those in LSD) are fundamental constants, and only general features of the detailed construction underlying the Perdew-Wang 1991 (PW91) GGA are invoked.

Electron-energy-loss spectra and the structural stability of nickel oxide: An LSDA+U study

TL;DR: In this article, the authors improved the description of both electron energy loss spectra and parameters characterizing the structural stability of the material compared with local spin density functional theory by taking better account of electron correlations in the $3d$ shell of metal ions in nickel oxide.
