Abstract

We present a detailed study of spin-transfer torque induced noise in self-biased differential dual spin valves (DDSV) which could be potentially used as magnetic read-heads for hard-disk drives. Micromagnetics studies of DDSV were performed in all the major magnetic configurations experienced by read-heads and we show that in every case, self-biased DDSV provide a much stronger stability against spin-transfer torque noise than conventional spin valves. Provided are also insights on the influence of the dipolar interlayer coupling, shape anisotropy, exchange bias and relative orientation between the 2 free layers. Our results demonstrate the viability of DDSV read-heads for future hard disk drives generations.
