چکیده
Perpendicular hot electron spin-valve effect in a new vacuum bonded magnetic field sensor and spectroscopic measurement tool Douwe Monsma This thesis may be ordered via the homepage of the Information Storage Technology Group Cover: first electrical measurement result of a spin-valve transistor. The collector current is measured as a function of time. An HP4145B is used for measurement and an FeNdB permanent magnet is moved over the sample to observe magnetic field sensitivity. The device was immersed in liquid nitrogen to decrease the collector leak current. An enormous effect of 106% was measured instantly.

Perpendicular hot electron spin-valve effect in a new magnetic field sensor: The spin-valve transistor.
A new magnetic field sensor is presented, based on perpendicular hot electron transport in a giant magnetoresistance (CoyCu) 4 multilayer, which serves as a base region of an n-silicon metal-base transistor structure. A 215% change in collector current is found in 500 Oe (77 K), with typical characteristics of the spin-valve effect. The in-plane magnetoresistance was only 3%. The transistor str...

The effect of spin mixing due to thermal spin waves and temperature dependence of hot electron spin polarization to the collector current in a spin-valve transistor has been theoretically explored. We calculate the collector current as well as the temperature dependence of magnetocurrent at finite temperatures to investigate the relative importance of spin mixing and hot electron spin polarizat...

متن کاملThermal spin-wave scattering in hot-electron magnetotransport across a spin valve.
The role of thermal scattering in spin-dependent transport of hot electrons at 0.9 eV is studied using a spin-valve transistor with a soft Ni(80)Fe(20)/Au/Co base. Spin-dependent scattering makes the collected electron current depend sensitively on the magnetic state of the base. The magnetocurrent reaches 560% at 100 K, decays with increasing temperature, and a huge effect of 350% still remain...
