Resistance switching in transparent magnetic MgO films
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have studied the abrupt and hysteretic changes of resistance in MgObased capacitor devices. The switching behavior is discussed in terms of the formation and rupture of conduction filaments due to the migration of structural defects in the electric field, together with the redox events which affects the mobile carriers. The results presented in this paper suggest that MgO transparent films combining ferromagnetism and multilevel switching characteristics might pave the way for a new method for spintronic multibit data storage.

متن کاملMagnetic anisotropy and field switching in cobalt ferrite thin films deposited by pulsed laser ablation
We report the observation of contrasting magnetic behavior in cobalt ferrite CFO thin films deposited on single crystalline magnesium oxide MgO and strontium titanate STO . Epitaxial films on MgO 100 with a lattice mismatch of 0.35% showed out-of-plane anisotropy whereas the films on STO 100 with a lattice mismatch of 7.4% displayed in-plane anisotropy. Stress anisotropy calculated from angle-d...

In this work, metal/oxide/metal capacitors were fabricated and investigated using transparent boron doped zinc oxide (ZnO:B) films for resistance switching memory applications. The optical band gap of ZnO:B films was determined to be about 3.26 eV and the average value of transmittance of ZnO:B films was about 91% in the visible light region. Experimental results indicated that the resistance s...
متن کاملHigh TMR and Low RA in Mg-B-O and Ni-Fe-B Nanopillar Fabrication for Spin-Torque Switching
Spin-torque transfer-induced magnetization switching has many applications, such as spin-torque magnetic random access memory (ST-MRAM) and has potential applications for tunable microwave oscillators at the gigahertz (GHz) range. Magnesium oxide (MgO)-based magnetic tunnel junctions for ST-MRAM especially attract great attention due to their high tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) at room tempe...
