Spin valve effect across the metal-insulator transition in V2O3
نویسندگان
چکیده
The magnetoresistance of Ni/V2O3/Py devices shows interesting behavior in the temperature dependence across the V2O3 metal-insulator transition. A spin-valve effect ( 0.1%) is found below the transition temperature when V2O3 is in the insulating phase. Contrary to expectation, the spin-valve effect disappears when device is heated above 150 K and V2O3 is in the metallic state. At these temperatures, the behavior of the device is governed by anisotropic magnetoresistance of Ni. Using finite method analysis of our device we show that disappearance of the spin-valve effect cannot be explained by changes in the current distribution with temperature. VC 2013 AIP Publishing LLC.

Magnetic correlations and quantum criticality in the insulating antiferromagnetic, insulating spin liquid, renormalized Fermi liquid, and metallic antiferromagnetic phases of the Mott system V2O3
Magnetic correlations in all four phases of pure and doped vanadium sesquioxide (V2O3) have been examined by magnetic thermal-neutron scattering. Specifically, we have studied the antiferromagnetic and paramagnetic phases of metallic V22yO3 , the antiferromagnetic insulating and paramagnetic metallic phases of stoichiometric V2O3 , and the antiferromagnetic and paramagnetic phases of insulating...

The changes in the electronic structure of V2O3 across the metal-insulator transition induced by temperature, doping, and pressure are identified using high resolution x-ray absorption spectroscopy at the V pre-K edge. Contrary to what has been taken for granted so far, the metallic phase reached under pressure is shown to differ from the one obtained by changing doping or temperature. Using a ...
متن کاملControl of magnetism across metal to insulator transitions
Magnetic properties (coercivity and magnetization) of ferromagnetic films are strongly affected by the proximity to materials that undergo a metal to insulator transition. Here, we show that stress associated with structural changes across the metal-insulator phase transition in VO2 and V2O3 produces a magnetoelastic anisotropy in ferromagnetic films (Co and Ni) deposited on top of the oxides. ...

The optical and infrared properties of films of vanadium dioxide VO2 and vanadium sesquioxide V2O3 have been investigated via ellipsometry and near-normal incidence reflectance measurements from far infrared to ultraviolet frequencies. Significant changes occur in the optical conductivity of both VO2 and V2O3 across the metal-insulator transitions at least up to and possibly beyond 6 eV. We arg...
