First-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...
متن کاملSpintronic Nano-Devices for Nonvolatile VLSIs
I review physics and materials science of nanoscale spintronic devices being developed for nonvolatile VLSI [1]. VLSIs can be made high performance and yet standby-power free by using magnetic tunnel junction, a two-terminal spintronic device, in combination with current CMOS technology. The scalability of perpendicular magnetic tunnel junctions utilizing CoFeB-MgO [2] is passing the 20 nm dime...
متن کاملSpin-dependent resonant tunneling through quantum-well states in magnetic metallic thin films.
Quantum-well (QW) states in nonmagnetic metal films between magnetic layers are known to be important in spin-dependent transport, but QW states in magnetic films remains elusive. Here we identify the conditions for resonant tunneling through QW states in magnetic films and report first principles calculations of Fe/MgO/FeO/Fe/Cr and Co/MgO/Fe/Cr. We show that, at resonance, the current increas...
متن کاملTHESIS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Spin Transport in Two-Dimensional Material Heterostructures
Spintronics is considered as an alternative for information processing beyond the charge based technology. The spintronic device performance depend on the spin relaxation mechanisms in the channel material. Si and graphene are interesting for their long spin coherence lengths and ideal for spin transport channels. Additionally, the interest in newly discovered two-dimensional semiconductors (2D...
