We investigated the relationship between the tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) ratio and the electrode structure in MgO-barrier magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs). The TMR ratio in a MTJ with Co40Fe40B20 reference and free layers reached 355% at…
We investigated the relationship between tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) ratio and the crystallization of CoFeB layers through annealing in magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) with MgO barriers that had CoFe/Ru/CoFeB synthetic ferrimagnet…
We report tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) ratios as high as 472% at room temperature and 804% at 5 K in pseudo-spin valve (SV) CoFeB/MgO/CoFeB magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) annealed at 450oC, which is approaching the theoretically…
We investigated dependence of tunnel magnetoresistance effect in CoFeB/MgO/CoFeB magnetic tunnel junctions on Ar pressure during MgO-barrier sputtering. Sputter deposition of MgO-barrier at high Ar pressure of 10 mTorr resulted in smooth…
Giant tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) ratios of 417% at room temperature (RT) and 914% at 3 K were demonstrated in epitaxial Fe/MgO/Fe(001) exchanged-biased spin-valve magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) by tuning growth conditions for each…
The knowledge of chemical and magnetic conditions at the Co40Fe40B20 / MgO interface is important to interpret the strong annealing temperature dependence of tunnel magnetoresistance of Co-Fe-B / MgO / Co-Fe-B magnetic tunnel junctions,…
We investigated the dependence of giant tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) on the thickness of an MgO barrier and on the annealing temperature of sputtered CoFeB/MgO/CoFeB magnetic tunnel junctions deposited on SiO2/Si wafers. The…
Magnetite (Fe3O4) is an eligible candidate for magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) since it shows a high spin polarization at the Fermi level as well as a high Curie temperature of 585{\deg}C. In this study, Fe3O4/MgO/Co-Fe-B MTJs were…
Magnetic tunnel junctions with Fe1+xCo2-xSi (0 < x < 1) electrodes and MgO barrier were prepared on MgO substrates by magnetron co-sputtering. Maximum tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) ratios of 262 % at 15 K and 159 % at room temperature were…
Spinel MgAl2O4 and family oxides are emerging barrier materials useful for magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs). We report large tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) ratios up to 429% at room temperature (RT) and 1,034% at 10 K in a…
Magnetic tunnel junctions with the layer sequence Co$_2$Cr$_{0.6}$Fe$_{0.4}$Al/MgO/CoFe were fabricated by magnetron sputtering at room temperature (RT). The samples exhibit a large inverse tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) effect of up to…
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 investigate the influence of the barrier thickness of Co$_{40}$Fe$_{40}$B$_{20}$ based magnetic tunnel junctions on the laser-induced tunnel magneto-Seebeck effect. Varying the barrier thickness from 1nm to 3nm, we find a distinct…
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…
Magnetite (Fe3O4) based tunnel junctions with turret/mesa structure have been investigated for different barrier materials (SrTiO3, NdGaO3, MgO, SiO2, and Al2O(3-x)). Junctions with a Ni counter electrode and an aluminium oxide barrier…
We explore the impact of Fe80B20 inserted at both Co$_{20}$Fe$_{80}$B$_{20}$/MgO interfaces of dual-MgO free layers (FLs) in bottom-pinned magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs). MTJ stacks are annealed for 30 min at 350 $^\circ$C and 400…
Surface oxidation of the bottom ferromagnetic (FM) electrode, one of the major detrimental factors to the performance of a Magnetic Tunnel Junction (MTJ), is difficult to avoid during the fabrication process of the MTJ's tunnel barrier.…
Future generations of magnetic random access memory demand magnetic tunnel junctions that can provide simultaneously high magnetoresistance, strong retention, low switching energy and small cell size below 10nm. Here we study perpendicular…
The tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) effect observed in magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) is commonly used in many spintronic applications because the effect can easily convert from local magnetic states to electric signals in a wide range of…
