Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a MgO double potential barrier magnetic tunnel junction with quantum effect and its application in spintronic devices. Background technique [0002] Since Julliére discovered the Tunnel Magnetoresis-tance (TMR) effect in Fe / Ge / Co multilayer films in 1975, the tunneling transport properties of spin-related electrons in magnetic tunnel junctions and the tunneling magnetoresistance ( TMR) effect has become one of the important research fields in condensed matter physics. At present, people have made remarkable achievements in the research of single-barrier magnetic tunnel junction (SBMTJ). For example, the TMR value at room temperature higher than 200% has been obtained experimentally in the single-crystal MgO barrier tunnel junction, which is much larger than the currently commonly used TMR value. Al-O barrier layer tunnel junction. However, single-barrier tunnel junction materials still face many problems in practical applicat...
