We investigated spin dependent transport through Fe/GaAs/Fe tunnel junctions. The tunneling magnetoresistance effect (TMR) was probed for different types of Fe/GaAs interfaces. For interfaces cleaned by hydrogen plasma the TMR effect is…

The bias dependence of the tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) of Fe/MgO/Fe tunnel junctions is investigated theoretically with a fully self-consistent scheme that combines the non-equilibrium Green's functions method with density functional…

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 investigated the spin-dependent transport properties of Fe/MgAl2O4/Fe(001) magnetic tunneling junctions (MTJs) on the basis of first-principles calculations of the electronic structures and the ballistic conductance. The calculated…

We report on systematic ab-initio investigations of Co and Cr interlayers embedded in Fe(001)/MgO/Fe(001) magnetic tunnel junctions, focusing on the changes of the electronic structure and the transport properties with interlayer thickness.…

Results of first-principles calculations of the Fe/GaAs/Ag(001) epitaxial tunnel junctions reveal that hybridization of interface resonances formed at both interfaces can enhance the tunnelling anisotropic magnetoresistance (TAMR) of the…

The transport properties of magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) are very sensitive to interface modifications. In this work we investigate both experimentally and theoretically the effect of asymmetric barrier modifications on the bias…

We theoretically study the tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) effect in (111)-oriented junctions Co/MgO/Co(111) and Ni/MgO/Ni(111). The Co-based junction is shown to have a TMR ratio over 2000$\%$, which is one order higher than that of the…

We performed a first-principles study of the tunneling anisotropic magneto-resistance (TAMR) in Ag(Ir,Pt)$/$MgO$/$Fe junctions. Enhanced TAMR with ideal and skewed fourfold angular dependence is found in-plane and out-of-plane TAMR of the…

A computational study of the epitaxial Co2MnSi(001)/MgO(001) interface relevant to tunneling magnetoresistive (TMR) devices is presented. Employing ab initio atomistic thermodynamics, we show that the Co- or MnSi-planes of bulk-terminated…

We investigated the effect of a Mg-Al layer insertion at the bottom interface of epitaxial Fe/$MgAl_{2}O_{4}$/Fe(001) magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) on their spin-dependent transport properties. The tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) ratio…

In this contribution, we calculate the spin-dependent ballistic and coherent transport through epitaxial Fe/ZnSe (001) simple and double magnetic tunnel junctions with two different interface terminations: Zn-terminated and Se-terminated.…

Strength of the the symmetry spin filtering effect (as defined by the asymptotic behavior of the tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) at large barrier thicknesses induced by this effect) is studied for the Fe/MgO/Fe magnetic tunnel junctions…

The influence of insertion of an ultra-thin NiO layer between the MgO barrier and ferromagnetic electrode in magnetic tunnel junctions has been investigated by measuring the tunneling magnetoresistance and the X-ray magnetic circular…

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…

We investigate transport through 6 to 10 nm thin epitaxial GaAs(001) barriers sandwiched between polycrystalline iron films. Apart from a pronounced tunneling magnetoresistance effect (TMR) at low magnetic fields we observe a distinct…

We created epitaxial magnetic tunnel junctions of FeCo/MgO/EuS on MgO buffered Si (100). Tunnel magnetoresistance reached up to 64% at 4.2 K. An unexpected fast drop of magnetoresistance was recorded for MgO thickness above 1 nm, which is…

We report on tunnelling magnetoresistance (TMR), current-voltage (IV) characteristics and low frequency noise in epitaxially grown Fe(110)/MgO(111)/Fe(110) magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) with dimensions from 2x2 to 20x20 um2. The…

We developed a parametrization of transmission probability that reliably captures essential elements of the tunneling process in magnetic tunnel junctions. The electronic structure of Fe/MgO system is calculated within the quasiparticle…

By use of first-principles electronic structure calculations, we predict that the magnetoresistance of the bcc Co(100)/MgO(100)/bcc Co(100) and FeCo(100)/MgO(100)/FeCo(100) tunneling junctions can be several times larger than the very large…
