Abstract: The stability of equilibrium configurations of magnetic junctions with a free layer of cubic anisotropy with two axes in the layer plane has been analyzed. Variants of switching between different configurations have been considered. It has been demonstrated that the possibility exists of considerably decreasing the threshold current density necessary for switching. Numerical simulation of the dynamics of switching between different configurations has been performed.
