What determines the sign reversal of magnetoresistance in a molecular tunnel junction?
The observations of both positive and negative signs in tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) for the same organic spin-valve structure have baffled researchers working in organic spintronics. In this article, we provide an answer to this puzzle by exploring the role of metal-molecule interface on TMR in a single molecular spin-valve junction. A planar organic molecule sandwiched between two nickel...
متن کاملTunneling anisotropic magnetoresistance: a spin-valve-like tunnel magnetoresistance using a single magnetic layer.
We introduce a new class of spintronic devices in which a spin-valve-like effect results from strong spin-orbit coupling in a single ferromagnetic layer rather than from injection and detection of a spin-polarized current by two coupled ferromagnets. The effect is observed in a normal-metal-insulator-ferromagnetic-semiconductor tunneling device. This behavior is caused by the interplay of the a...
متن کاملGiant thermal spin-torque-assisted magnetic tunnel junction switching.
Spin-polarized charge currents induce magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) switching by virtue of spin-transfer torque (STT). Recently, by taking advantage of the spin-dependent thermoelectric properties of magnetic materials, novel means of generating spin currents from temperature gradients, and their associated thermal-spin torques (TSTs), have been proposed, but so far these TSTs have not been la...
متن کاملModeling and Simulation of a Molecular Single-Electron Transistor
In this paper, to understand the concept of coupling, molecule density of states that coupled to the metal electrodes will be explained then, based on this concept, a weak and strong coupling for the molecules attached to the metal electrodes will be described. Capacitance model is used to explore the connection of addition energy with the Electron affinity and the ionization energy of the mole...
متن کاملLarge magnetoresistance in a manganite spin tunnel junction using LaMnO3 as the insulating barrier
A spin tunnel junction based on manganites, with La1−xSrxMnO3 LSMO as ferromagnetic metallic electrodes and the undoped parent compound LaMnO3 LMO as insulating barrier, is here theoretically discussed using double-exchange model Hamiltonians and numerical techniques. For an even number of LMO layers, the ground state is shown to have antiparallel LSMO magnetic moments. This highly resistive, b...
