Abstract
A semi-analytical phenomenology is described for spin-value behavior. The model requires minimization of the total energy density of a two-m agnetic layer spin - valve over a range of externally applied magnetic fields. It is found that all of the usual switching characteristics c an be modeled by this method in such a way as to facilitate determinat ion of basic materials parameters such as exchange and anisotropy.
