Criteria for ferromagnetic – insulator – ferromagnetic tunneling
The Rowell criteria, commonly used to identify tunneling in magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJ), are scrutinized. While neither the exponential-thickness dependence of the conductivity nor fits of non-linear transport data are found to be reliable tunneling criteria, the temperature-dependent conductivity does remain a solid criterion. Based on experimental studies of the bias and temperature-depen...
متن کاملTunneling into Ferromagnetic Quantum Hall States: Observation of a Spin Bottleneck
We explore the characteristics of equilibrium tunneling of electrons from a 3D electrode into a high mobility 2D electron system. For most noninteger filling factors, we find that tunneling can be characterized by a single, well-defined tunneling rate. However, for spin-polarized quantum Hall states (n 1, 3, and 1 3) tunneling occurs at two distinct rates that differ by up to 2 orders of magnit...
متن کاملTunneling via Individual Electronic States in Ferromagnetic Nanoparticles
We measure electron tunneling via discrete energy levels in ferromagnetic cobalt particles that are less than 4 nm in diameter, using nonmagnetic electrodes. Because of magnetic anisotropy, the energy of each tunneling resonance shifts as an applied magnetic field rotates the particle’s magnetic moment. We see both spin-increasing and decreasing tunneling transitions, but do not observe the spi...
متن کاملRelation between quantum tunneling times for relativistic particles
The time it takes for a particle or wave packet to tunnel through a potential barrier has been debated for decades [1–8]. The fact that there is a finite duration for the tunneling process is not in doubt. The debate centers around the validity of the various proposed tunneling times, the relation between those times, and the physical meaning of a tunneling time especially when it predicts appa...
متن کاملThe Effect of Structural Parameters on the Electronic States and Oscillator Strength of a Resonant Tunneling Quantum Well Infrared Photodetector
In this paper a resonant tunnelling quantum well infrared photodetector (RT-QWIP) is discussed. Each period of this photodetector structure comprises of a resonant tunnelling structure (AlAs/AlGaAs/AlAs) nearby a quantum well (AlGaAs/GaAs). In this photodetector, photocurrent is produced when an electron makes a transition from the ground state of the well to an excited state which is coupled t...
