Overview

New York University and Allied Minds have teamed to establish Spin Transfer Technologies, LLC (STT) to develop and commercialize its spin transfer magnetoresistive random access memory technology. The technology was originally developed from the mesoscopic magnetism research conducted in the laboratory of Professor Andrew Kent. His research into spin transfer induced reversal of magnetization orientation showed that switching magnetic orientations can be accomplished much faster than in conventional spin transfer approaches. This discovery has enormous implications for the development of spin transfer MRAM devices, including faster switching times and scalability to smaller dimensions.

Andrew Kent is a Professor of Physics, NYU and a Fellow of the American Physical Society. He is an expert in the fabrication of spin-transfer devices and the characterization of their high-frequency response.
