The magnetoresistance of several Ferromagnet/Normal metal/Ferromagnet spin-valve type structures has been investigated using Al as normal spacer layer. A magnetoresistance ratio up to 4.1% at room temperature and 5.7% at 0.3 K is found for the sandwich with both Co layers, while slightly lower...

We conducted a detailed study of hard axis magnetic field (H<Subscript>hard</Subscript>) dependence on current-induced magnetization switching (CIMS) in MgO-based magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) with various junction sizes and various uniaxial anisotropy fields. The decreases in critical current density (J<Subscript>c</Subscript>) and the...</subscript></subscript>

Bias voltage and temperature dependence of magneto-electric properties in double-barrier magnetic tunnel junctions(DBMTJs) with a structure of [IrMn/CoFe/Ru/CoFeB]/Al-O/CoFeB/Al-O/[CoFeB/Ru/CoFe/IrMn], have been investigated. The DBMTJs show a large tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) ratio of up to...
