Spin-polarized electron tunneling in bcc FeCo/MgO/FeCo(001) magnetic tunnel junctions.
In combining spin- and symmetry-resolved photoemission, magnetotransport measurements and ab initio calculations we detangled the electronic states involved in the electronic transport in Fe(1-x)Co(x)(001)/MgO/Fe(1-x)Co(x)(001) magnetic tunnel junctions. Contrary to previous theoretical predictions, we observe a large reduction in TMR (from 530 to 200% at 20 K) for Co content above 25 atomic% a...

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 کاملPoster Specular to Diffusive Scattering in Fe/MgO/Fe Magnetic Tunnel Junctions
Nanoelectronic device properties are usually influenced rather strongly by impurities and atomistic disorder. Examples are electron scattering by dopants in semiconductor nano-wires, spin scattering by disorder in magnetic tunnel junctions, and spin polarized current in dilute magnetic semiconductors. Theoretically, any calculated transport quantity must be averaged over the ensemble of possibl...

In this paper, spin-dependent electrical transport properties are investigated in a single-crystal magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) which consists of two ferromagnetic Fe electrodes separated by an MgO insulating barrier. These properties contain electric current, spin polarization and tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR). For this purpose, spin-dependent Hamiltonian is described for Δ1 and Δ5 bands in...
