Temperature dependence of tunnel resistance for CoFeB∕MgO∕CoFeB magnetoresistive tunneling junctions: The role of magnon

Tunnel resistance for CoFeB∕MgO∕CoFeB junctions with a wide variety of resistance has been investigated as a function of bias voltage Vb and temperature to elucidate bias voltage dependence of the magnetoresistance ratio. Comparison with a conventional NiFe∕AlOx∕CoFe junction is also discussed. In t...

description Tunnel resistance for CoFeB∕MgO∕CoFeB junctions with a wide variety of resistance has been investigated as a function of bias voltage Vb and temperature to elucidate bias voltage dependence of the magnetoresistance ratio. Comparison with a conventional NiFe∕AlOx∕CoFe junction is also discussed. In the case of a parallel alignment of the magnetic moments with a MgO barrier, the Vb dependence was much smaller than that of the antiparallel (AP) alignment with a MgO barrier and of both alignment with an AlOx barrier. This probably originates from the unique tunnel mechanism with a MgO barrier: coherent tunneling of Δ1 electron states. In the case of AP alignment with a MgO barrier, distinctive features were observed: temperature coefficient of tunnel resistance steeply decreased with increasing absolute value of Vb at −0.2V
