Diode effect in magnetic tunnel junctions

The influence on the I-V characteristics and tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR), of impurities embedded into the insulating barrier I separating the two ferromagnetic electrodes F of a magnetic tunnel junction, was theoretically investigated. When the energy of the electron's bound state at the impurity site is close to the Fermi energy, it is shown that the current and TMR are strongly enhanced in the vicinity of the impurity. If the position of the impurity inside the barrier is asymmetric, e.g. closer to one of the interfaces F/I, the I-V characteristic exhibits a quasidiode behavior. The case of a single impurity and of a random distribution of impurities within a plane were both studied.

Magnetic tunnel junctions with impurities

The influence of impurities, embedded into the isolating spacer (I) between two ferromagnetic electrodes (F), on the I-V curve and tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR), is theoretically investigated. It is shown, that the current and TMR are strongly enhanced in the vicinity of the impurity under the condition that the energy of the electron's bound state on the impurity is close to the Fermi energy. If the position of the impurity inside the barrier is asymmetric, e.g. closer to the one of the interfaces F/I the I-V curve exhibits quasidiode behavior.

Resonance magneto-resistance in double barrier structure with spin-valve

The conductance and tunnel magneto-resistance (TMR) of the double barrier magnetic tunnel junction with spin-valve sandwich (F/P/F) inserted between two insulating barrier, are theoretically investigated. It is shown, that resonant tunnelling, due to the quantum well states of the electron confined between two barriers, sharply depends on the mutual orientation of the magnetizations of ferromagnetic layers F. The calculated optimistic value of TMR exceeds 2000% .
