متن کاملMetal-Oxide Interfaces in Magnetic Tunnel Junctions
Metal-oxide interfaces play an important role in spintronics—a new area of microelectronics that exploits spin of electrons in addition to the traditional charge degree of freedom to enhance the performance of existing semiconductor devices. Magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) consisting of spin-polarized ferromagnetic electrodes sandwiching an insulating barrier are such promising candidates of s...
متن کاملMagnetic Tunnel Junctions
Application of Bardeen’s tunneling theory to magnetic tunnel junctions having a general degree of atomic disorder reveals the close relationship between magneto-conduction and voltage-driven pseudo-torque, as well as the thickness dependence of tunnel-polarization factors. Among the results: 1) The torque generally varies as sin θ at constant applied voltage. 2) Whenever polarization factors ar...

Figure 1 Schematic illustration showing the mechanism of TMR. Top: for parallel aligned magnetization as sketched at left, electrons around the Fermi level with spin up (m) and spin down (k) are allowed to tunnel from majority to majority bands, and from minority to minority bands. Bottom: when the magnetization is antiparallel, tunneling takes place from majority to minority and minority to ma...
متن کاملStability of magnetic tunnel junctions
When magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJ) are built into a memory device they will be arranged in a matrix; therefore some of the not addressed elements will be exposed to a significant field during the switching of one element. It has to be avoided that the state of not selected MTJ is changed during this process. Here we present data on the stability of MTJ against small fields which occur during ...
