Magnetic random-access memory (MRAM) has been touted as a universal memory with a wide range of potential applications in portable computers, consumer electronics and wireless devices. The use of certain combinations of materials that can now be deposited as thin-film layers with excellent crystalline order provides a significantly larger signal in the devices, and is expected to help advance the commercialization of MRAM.
