We report tunneling phenomena in double In$_{0.53}$Ga$_{0.47}$As quantum-well structures that are at odds with the conventional parallel-momentum-conserving picture of tunneling between two-dimensional systems. We found that the tunneling…

The current-voltage ($IV$) characteristics beyond the linear response regime of magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) is systematically investigated. We find a clear negative correlation between the two coefficients to characterize the linear…

We present results on all-MgB2 tunnel junctions, where the tunnel barrier is deposited MgO or native-oxide of base electrode. For the junctions with MgO, the hysteretic I-V curve resembles a conventional underdamped Josephson junction…

We calculate the current as a function of applied voltage in non-topological s-wave superconductor-quantum dot-topological superconductor tunnel junction. We consider the type of TS which hosts two Majorana bound states (MBS) at the ends of…

We prepared magnetic tunnel junctions with one ferromagnetic and one superconducting Al-Si electrode. Pure cobalt electrodes were compared with a Co-Fe-B alloy and the Heusler compound Co2FeAl. The polarization of the tunneling electrons…

Magnetic tunnel junctions with wide band gap semiconductor ZnTe barrier were fabricated. A very low barrier height and sizable magnetoresistance were observed in the Fe/ZnTe/Fe junctions at room temperature. The nonlinear I-V characteristic…

We study the annealing stability of bottom-pinned perpendicularly magnetized magnetic tunnel junctions based on dual MgO free layers and thin fixed systems comprising a hard [Co/Ni] multilayer antiferromagnetically coupled to thin a Co…

The minority-spin Fe/MgO interface states are at the Fermi level in density functional theory (DFT), but experimental evidence and GW calculations place them slightly higher in energy. This small shift can strongly influence tunneling…

We present the concept of ferroelectric tunnel junctions (FTJs). These junctions consist of two metal electrodes separated by a nanometer-thick ferroelectric barrier. The current-voltage characteristics of FTJs are analyzed under the…

The optimal Co concentration in Fe$_{1-x}$Co$_{x}$/MgO magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) that maximizes tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) is still under investigation. We perform a first-principles transport study on MTJs using disordered…

We study spin-dependent transport properties in magnetic tunneling junctions (MTJs) with semiconductor barriers, Fe/CuInSe$_2$/Fe(001) and Fe/CuGaSe$_2$/Fe(001). By analyzing their transmittances at zero bias voltage on the basis of the…

Taking into account the available experimental results, we model the electronic properties and current-voltage characteristics of a ferromagnet-semiconductor junction. The Fe/GaAs interface is considered as a Fe/(i-GaAs)/n+-GaAs/n-GaAs…

Spin-resolved electron symmetry filtering is a key mechanism behind giant tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) in Fe/MgO/Fe and similar magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs), providing room temperature functionality in modern spin electronics.…

Recently, it has been shown that magnetic tunnel junctions with thin MgO tunnel barriers exhibit extraordinarily high tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) values at room temperature1, 2. However, the physics of spin dependent tunneling through…

We have studied the Junction Magnetoresistance (JMR) and the Differential junction magnetoresistance (DJMR) for double tunnel junctions with magnetic metals in the Coulomb Blockade regime. Spikes are seen in both the JMR and the DJMR vs.…

We study the effect of image potential on spin polarized transport through Fe/MgO/Fe magnetic tunnel junctions in the presence of symmetry filtering. The image potential is included within the Simmon's model coupled with the non-equilibrium…

Using the closed-time path integral approach, we nonperturbatively study inelastic tunneling of electrons via magnetic impurities in the barrier accompanied by phonon emission in a magnetic tunnel junction. The spectrum density of phonon…

Based on spin-density functional theory we calculate the electronic structure of a tunnel junction consisting of two magnetic Fe layers separated by an insulating vacuum barrier selfconsistently. For the conductance the Landauer formula is…

Quantum-well resonance is achieved through partial confinement in magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs), which provides an additional operable degree of freedom to regulate quantum-well levels. Using Al/Fe/MgO/Fe/Al and Ag/Al/Fe/MgO/Fe/Al/Ag…

Magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) with Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 barriers are reported to show both tunneling magnetoresistance effect (TMR) and tunneling electroresistance effect (TER), displaying four resistance states by magnetic and electric field…
