We studied polycrystalline B2-type Co2FeAl (CFA) full-Heusler alloy based magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) fabricated on a Si/SiO2 amorphous substrate. Polycrystalline CFA films with a (001) orientation, a high B2 ordering, and a flat…
Magnetic Tunnel Junction (MTJ) based Spin-Transfer Torque Magnetic Random Access Memory (STT-MRAM) is poised to replace embedded Flash for advanced applications such as automotive microcontroller units. To achieve deeper technological…
We report on spin polarization reduction by incoherent tunneling in realistic single crystal Co2FeAl/MgO/Co50Fe50 magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJ) compared to reference Fe/MgO/Fe. A large density of misfit dislocations in the Heusler based…
Crystallographic and spin polarized transport properties of (100) textured and (100) epitaxial Fe/MgO/Fe magnetic tunnel junctions are compared. Strong similarities in the transport properties show that structural coherence and magnetic…
Spin-based electronics or spintronics is an emerging field, in which we try to utilize spin degrees of freedom as well as charge transport in materials and devices. While metal-based spin-devices, such as magnetic-field sensors and…
All van der Waals (vdW) Fe3GeTe2/Cr2Ge2Te6/graphite magnetic heterojunctions have been fabricated via mechanical exfoliation and stacking, and their magnetotransport properties are studied in detail. At low bias voltages large negative…
We study transport across junctions of a Weyl and a multi-Weyl semimetal (WSM and a MSM) separated by a region of thickness $d$ which has a barrier potential $U_0$. We show that in the thin barrier limit ($U_0 \to \infty$ and $d \to 0$ with…
Using Density functional theory and non-equilibrium Green's function formalism, spin dependent electron transport in Fe/Mo$_x$Cr$_{1-x}$S$_2$/Fe magnetic tunnel junction is studied. Spin transport for different thicknesses (1, 3, 5, and 7…
We assess the potential of the ferrimagnetic spinel ferrites CoFe2O4 and NiFe2O4 to act as spin filtering barriers in magnetic tunnel junctions. Our study is based on the electronic structure calculated by means of first-principles density…
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…
We measured the shot noise in fully epitaxial Fe/MgAl2OX/Fe-based magnetic tunneling junctions (MTJs). While the Fano factor to characterize the shot noise is very close to unity in the antiparallel configuration, it is reduced to 0.98 in…
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…
We have experimentally and theoretically investigated the spin injection/detection polarization in a Si-based ferromagnetic tunnel junction with an amorphous MgO layer, and demonstrated that the experimental features of the spin…
We propose a conceptually new way to gather information on the electron bands of buried metal(semiconductor)/insulator interfaces. The bias dependence of low frequency noise in Fe$_{1-x}$V$_{x}$/MgO/Fe (0 $<$ x $<$ 0.25) tunnel junctions…
Thin Co-Mn-Sb films of different compositions were investigated and utilized as electrodes in alumina based magnetic tunnel junctions with CoFe counter electrode. The preparation conditions were optimized with respect to magnetic and…
Fermi-arc surface states of Weyl semimetals exhibit a unique combination of localization to a surface and connectivity to the bulk Weyl fermions that can move along the localization direction. We predict anomalous quantum-oscillation…
Josephson tunnel junctions with the strong ferromagnetic alloy $\Fe_{0.75}\Co_{0.25}$ as the barrier material were studied. The junctions were prepared with high quality down to a thickness range of a few monolayers of Fe-Co. An oscillation…
