Abstract
Combining pairs of ferromagnetic metals with different signs of scattering anisotropies, let us independently invert the magnetoresistance and the direction of current-driven switching in ferromagnetic/non-magnetic/ferromagnetic metal nanopillars. We show all four combinations of normal and inverse behaviors, at both room temperature and 4.2K. In all cases studied, the direction of switching is set by the net scattering anisotropy of the fixed (polarizing) ferromagnet. We provide simple arguments for what we see.
