The evolution of information technology has been driven by the discovery of new forms of large magnetoresistance (MR), such as giant magnetoresistance (GMR) and tunnelling magnetoresistance (TMR) in magnetic multilayers. Recently, new types…
We develop a theoretical model of magnon-assisted transport in a mesoscopic tunnel junction between a ferromagnetic metal and a normal (non-magnetic) metal. The current response to a bias voltage is dominated by the contribution of elastic…
A vertical spin metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (spin MOSFET) is a promising low-power device for the post scaling era. Here, using a ferromagnetic-semiconductor GaMnAs-based vertical spin MOSFET with a GaAs channel layer,…
We investigate the thermoelectric properties of Fe/MgO/Fe(001) magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) by means of the linear-response theory combined with a first-principles-based Landauer-B\"uttiker approach. We find that the Seebeck coefficient…
Ferroelectric polarization switching in electrically controlled van der Waals multiferroic tunnel junctions (vdW-MFTJs) causes atomic migration, compromising device stability and fatigue resistance. Here we propose a fully magnetically…
We report a magnetotransport study of an ultra-high mobility ($\bar{\mu}\approx 25\times 10^6$\,cm$^2$\,V$^{-1}$\,s$^{-1}$) $n$-type GaAs quantum well up to 33 T. A strong linear magnetoresistance (LMR) of the order of 10$^5$ % is observed…
Spin-dependent conductance across a manganate-barrier-manganate junction has recently been demonstrated. The junction is a La$_{0.67}$Sr$_{0.33}$MnO$_3$% -SrTiO$_3$-La$_{0.67}$ Sr$_{0.33}$MnO$_3$ trilayer device supporting…
We study the relation between tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) and interfacial electronic states modified by magnetic impurities introduced at the interface of the ferromagnetic tunnel junctions, by making use of the periodic Anderson model…
We compute thermal spin transfer torques (TST) in Fe-MgO-Fe tunnel junctions using a first principles wave function-matching method. At room temperature, the TST in a junction with 3 MgO monolayers amounts to 10^-7J/m^2/K, which is…
Magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) with partially oxidized 9 \AA AlO$_x$-barriers were recently shown to have the necessary characteristics to be used as magnetoresistive sensors in high-density storage devices. Here we study dielectric…
Tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) in a vertical manganite junction was investigated by low-temperature scanning laser microscopy (LTSLM) allowing to determine the local relative magnetization M orientation of the two electrodes as a…
Altermagnetic (AM) materials have recently attracted significant interest due to the non-relativistic momentum-dependent spin splitting of their electronic band structure which may be useful for antiferromagnetic (AFM) spintronics. So far,…
The spin-transfer effect has been studied in magnetic tunnel junctions (PtMn/CoFe/Ru/CoFe/Al2O3/CoFe/NiFe) with dimensions down to 0.1x0.2 um2 and resistance-area product RA in the range of 0.5-10 Ohm m2 (dR/R=1-20%). Current-induced…
We have performed magnetotransport measurements on La2/3Sr1/3MnO3 / SrTiO3 / La2/3Sr1/3MnO3 magnetic tunnel junctions. A magnetoresistance ratio of more than 1800 % is obtained at 4K, from which we infer an electrode spin polarization of at…
Direct tunneling in ferromagnetic junctions is compared with impurity-assisted, surface state assisted, and inelastic contributions to a tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR). Theoretically calculated direct tunneling in iron group systems…
We investigate the tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) of a bilayer system made of $X$-wave magnets with $X=p,d,f,g,i$, where $X=d,g,i$ corresponds to altermagnets. A universal analytic formula is derived for the TMR ratio. It is proportional…
A spin-tunnel-junction based on manganites, with La$_{1-x}$Sr$_x$MnO$_3$ (LSMO) as ferromagnetic metallic electrodes and the undoped parent compound LaMnO$_3$ (LMO) as insulating barrier, is here theoretically discussed using double…
Van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures, stacking different two-dimensional materials, have opened up unprecedented opportunities to explore new physics and device concepts. Especially interesting are recently discovered two-dimensional…
We investigate the spin-polarized transport of GaMnAs nanolayers in which a ferromagnetic order exists below a certain transition temperature. Our calculation for the self-averaged resistivity takes into account the existence of an impurity…
We show that engineering of tunnel barriers forming at the interfaces of a one-dimensional spin valve provides a viable path to a strong gate-voltage tunability of the magnetoresistance effect. In particular, we investigate theoretically a…
