Emergent spin filter at the interface between ferromagnetic and insulating layered oxides.

چکیده
We report a strong effect of interface-induced magnetization on the transport properties of magnetic tunnel junctions consisting of ferromagnetic manganite La0.7Ca0.3MnO3 and insulating cuprate PrBa2Cu3O7. Contrary to the typically observed steady increase of the tunnel magnetoresistance with decreasing temperature, this system exhibits a sudden anomalous decrease at low temperatures. Interestingly, this anomalous behavior can be attributed to the competition between the positive spin polarization of the manganite contacts and the negative spin-filter effect from the interface-induced Cu magnetization.

Spin, orbital, and charge order at the interface between correlated oxides.
The collective behavior of correlated electrons in the VO2 interface layer of the LaVO(3)/SrTiO(3) heterostructure is studied within a quarter-filled t(2g)-orbital Hubbard model on a square lattice. We argue that the ground state is ferromagnetic, driven by the double-exchange mechanism, and is orbitally and charge ordered due to a confined geometry and electron correlations. The orbital and ch...
متن کاملRole of spin orbit coupling and electron correlation in the electronic structure of a 5d pyrochlore, Y2Ir2O7
Spin orbit coupling in 5d transition metal oxides such as Ir oxides is expected to be strong due to large atomic number of Ir and electron correlation strength will be weak due to large radial extension of the 5d orbitals. Hence, various anomalous electronic properties often observed in these systems are attributed to large spin-orbit interaction strength. Employing first principles approaches,...
متن کاملObservation of inverse Edelstein effect in Rashba-split 2DEG between SrTiO3 and LaAlO3 at room temperature
The Rashba physics has been intensively studied in the field of spin orbitronics for the purpose of searching novel physical properties and the ferromagnetic (FM) magnetization switching for technological applications. We report our observation of the inverse Edelstein effect up to room temperature in the Rashba-split two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) between two insulating oxides, SrTiO3 and...
متن کاملInterface Engineering to Create a Strong Spin Filter Contact to Silicon
Integrating epitaxial and ferromagnetic Europium Oxide (EuO) directly on silicon is a perfect route to enrich silicon nanotechnology with spin filter functionality. To date, the inherent chemical reactivity between EuO and Si has prevented a heteroepitaxial integration without significant contaminations of the interface with Eu silicides and Si oxides. We present a solution to this long-standin...

Wedemonstrate opto-spintronics using Fe-doped IndiumPhosphide (InP). Themethod is based on optical orientation of InP conduction electron spinswhich are electrically detected in planar InP/ oxide/Ni tunnel spinfilters.We separate the optical excitation from electrical detection, avoiding thus additional interactions of photonswith the ferromagnet. Interface engineering provides a surface iron a...
