Abstract

Two simple tests are described for models of current-induced magnetization switching due to spin-transfer torque in ferromagnetic/nonmagnetic/ferromagnetic (F/N/F) trilayers. The experimental ratio of [I.sup.+]/[I.sup.-] is compared for Cu and CuGe with the three models that make predictions.
