1. A magnetic cell comprising:

  • a ferromagnetic free layer and a first ferromagnetic pinned reference layer, each having an out-of-plane magnetic anisotropy and an out-of-plane magnetization orientation and switchable by spin torque;

    a first oxide barrier layer between the free layer and the reference layer; and

    a ferromagnetic assist layer having low magnetic anisotropy less than about 500 Oe proximate the free layer.
