Title: Magnetostatic interactions in artificial ferrimagnet based magnetic tunnel junctions

Magnetostatic interactions between the soft and the hard magnetic electrodes in magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) using artificial ferrimagnets (AFis) are analyzed. We attribute these interactions to the dispersion fields associated to magnetic inhomogeneities arising from domain walls due to local anisotropic ordering. These magnetostatic interactions can be controlled by adjusting the net magnetic moment of the AFi to optimize the magnetotransport response of the MTJ devices.{copyright} 2001 American Institute of Physics.
