Tunnel magnetoresistance of magnetic junctions with cubic symmetry of the layers
نویسندگان
چکیده
A tunnel magnetic junction is considered with magnetic hard and magnetic soft layers of cubic symmetry. The magnetic switching is analyzed of the layers by a magnetic field perpendicular to the initial magnetizations. In such a situation, an additional peak of the TMR ratio appears at the magnetic field value lower substantially than the anisotropy energy of the soft layer.

Magnetic Tunnel Junctions With Co:TiO Magnetic Semiconductor Electrodes
Spin-polarized tunneling is investigated in magnetic tunnel junctions containing an ultrathin interfacial layer of Co:TiO magnetic semiconductor. The Co:TiO layers (0 to 1 nm thick) are inserted at the SrTiO Co interface in La Sr MnO SrTiO Co tunnel junctions. For all junctions we find a negative tunnel magnetoresistance, which decreases upon the insertion of Co:TiO , while the junction resista...
متن کاملSpin torque, tunnel-current spin polarization, and magnetoresistance in MgO magnetic tunnel junctions.
We employ the spin-torque response of magnetic tunnel junctions with ultrathin MgO tunnel barrier layers to investigate the relationship between spin transfer and tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) under finite bias, and find that the spin torque per unit current exerted on the free layer decreases by < 10% over a bias range where the TMR decreases by > 40%. This is inconsistent with free-electron-...

Based on general symmetry considerations, we investigate how the dependence of the tunneling anisotropic magnetoresistance TAMR on the magnetization direction is determined by the specific form of the spin-orbit coupling field. By extending a phenomenological model, previously proposed for explaining the main trends of the TAMR in 001 ferromagnet/semiconductor/normal-metal magnetic tunnel junct...

The effects of the spin-orbit coupling SOC on the tunneling magnetoresistance of ferromagnet/ semiconductor/normal-metal tunnel junctions are investigated. Analytical expressions for the tunneling anisotropic magnetoresistance TAMR are derived within an approximation in which the dependence of the magnetoresistance on the magnetization orientation in the ferromagnet originates from the interfer...
متن کاملFirst-principles modelling of magnetic tunnel junctions
Magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJ) are promising candidates for applications in spintronic devices such as magnetic random access memories, read heads and sensors [1]. The MTJs consist of two ferromagnetic layers separated by an insulating barrier layer. The physical quantity measured for signal detection is the tunnelling magnetoresistance (TMR), i.e. the relative difference in the resistance bet...
