Spin and Charge Transport in a Magnetic Tunnel Junction with Magnetic Impurities Embedded in the Tunnel Barrier
نویسنده
چکیده
Electronic transport in a nanoscopic magnetic tunnel junction with magnetic particles or magnetic impurity atoms/molecules embedded in the barrier is studied theoretically. The impurity Hamiltonian includes magnetic anisotropy of easy axis type with additional perpendicular term. The description takes into account both elastic tunneling processes as well as inelastic processes associated with a ip of electron spin.

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...
متن کاملSpin current through a tunnel junction
We derive an expression for the spin-current through a tunnel barrier in terms of many-body Green’s functions. The spin current has two contributions. One can be associated with angular-momentum transfer by spin-polarized charge currents crossing the junction. If there are magnetic moments on both sides of the tunnel junction, due to spin accumulation or ferromagnetic ordering, then there is a ...

A quantum transport model incorporating spin scattering processes is presented using the non-equilibrium Green's function (NEGF) formalism within the self-consistent Born approximation. This model offers a unified approach by capturing the spin-flip scattering and the quantum effects simultaneously. A numerical implementation of the model is illustrated for magnetic tunnel junction devices with...

The tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) in the magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) with embedded nanoparticles (NPs) was calculated in range of the quantum-ballistic model. The simulation was performed for electron tunneling through the insulating layer with embedded magnetic and non-magnetic NPs within the approach of the double barrier subsystem connected in parallel to the single barrier one. This mod...
متن کاملSpin-polarized electron tunneling across magnetic dielectric
This letter deals with a magnetic tunnel junction having spin filtering by a magnetic barrier. We performed experiments in which a relatively strong external field rotates magnetizations of both ferromagnetic electrodes in the tunnel junction with the magnetic barrier simultaneously so that the two are always parallel to each other. The tunnel magnetoresistance induced in this way was over 16% ...
