15. The spin transfer torque switching in the synthetic free layer is performed at room temperature using an Ru layer with a thickness of a few nm (Refs. 8-10). The spin diffusion length of Ru at 4.2 K is 14 nm 16 and it would be much smaller at room temperature.

17. Hitoshi Kubota (private communication). It was experimentally shown that the critical current of the spin transfer torque switching in a CoFeB/Ru/CoFeB spin valve is one order of magnitude larger than that in CoFeB/MgO/CoFeB MTJs (unpublished). This result means that the spin transfer torque arising between the free layers of the synthetic structure is negligible compared to that arising from the spin current injected from the fixed layer.
