Universal scaling of magnetoconductance in magnetic nanocontacts „invited..
We present results of half-metallic ferromagnets formed by atomic nanocontact of CrO2 – CrO2 and CrO2 – Ni that show as much as 400% magnetoconductance. Analysis of the magnetoconductance versus conductance data for all materials known to exhibit so-called ballistic magnetoresistance strongly suggests that the magnetoconductance of nanocontacts follows universal scaling. If the maximum magnetoc...
متن کاملBallistic magnetoresistance in a nanocontact between a Ni cluster and a magnetic thin film
We present measurements of ballistic magnetoresistance in nanocontacts grown by electrodeposition of Ni microclusters on magnetic thin films covered by aluminum oxide layers, using a technique proposed by Schad et al. @D. Allen, R. Schad, G. Zangari, I. Zana, D. Yang, M. C. Tondra, and D. Wang, J. Vac. Sci. Technol. A. 18, 1830 ~2000!; Appl. Phys. Lett. 76, 407 ~2000!; D. Allen, R. Schad, G. Za...
متن کاملMetal-semiconductor nanocontacts: silicon nanowires
Silicon nanowires assembled from clusters or etched from the bulk, connected to aluminum electrodes and passivated, are studied with large-scale local-density-functional simulations. Short ( approximately 0.6 nm) wires are fully metallized by metal-induced gap states resulting in finite conductance ( approximately e(2)/h). For longer wires ( approximately 2.5 nm) nanoscale Schottky barriers dev...
متن کاملArtifacts that mimic ballistic magnetoresistance
We have investigated the circumstances underlying recent reports of very large values of ballistic magnetoresistance (BMR) in nanocontacts between magnetic wires. We find that the geometries used are subject to artifacts due to motion of the wires that distort the nanocontact thereby changing its electrical resistance. Since these nanocontacts are often of atomic scale, reliable experiments wou...
متن کاملBallistic spin-valves with Ni nanocontacts
The strong sensitivity of the current flow between two ferromagnetic metals (FM’s) separated by a non-magnetic region to the relative orientation of their magnetization vectors is a fundammental physical phenomenon with a huge impact in the magneto-electronics industry[1]. The quantity characterizing this phenomenon is the so-called magneto-resistance (MR) which is defined as the difference in ...
