This chapter reviews the physics of spin-dependent tunneling in magnetic tunnel junctions,
ie ferromagnetic layers separated by an ultrathin, insulating barrier. In magnetic junctions …

We have studied transport properties of Nb/Al/AlO x/Nb tunnel junctions with ultrathin
aluminum oxide layers formed by (i) thermal oxidation and (ii) plasma oxidation, before and …

I have a long-standing interest in alloy thermodynamics/phase diagrams and in utilizing the
principles of this subject for materials research and engineering applications. At the same …

The diffusion coefficients and viscosity of four Al 1–x Zr x (x= 0.4, 0.5. 0.6, and 0.67) alloys
are predicted by ab initio molecular dynamic simulations via the Einstein and Darken …

A comprehensive study of the atomic structure, electronic structure and thermal stability of
sputter-deposited amorphous Al x Zr 1− x (x= 0.26, 0.35, 0.51, 0.75) has been carried out …

We studied the thermal stability of new amorphous ZrAl-based magnetic tunnel junctions
(MTJs) with a ZrAl-oxide barrier replacing the Ta layers traditionally used for the under and …

The quality of a tunnel barrier is of critical importance for the success of a magnetic tunnel
junction. An amorphous state of the precursor metal films is beneficial for the formation of an …

This paper reports on the electrical characteristics of NbN tunnel junctions fabricated by
radical nitridation of an Al layer deposited on a base NbN layer to form the barrier. The …

方法微加工制备均匀性较好的磁性隧道结方面做了初步研究, 并对磁性隧道结的磁电性质及其 …

Epitaxial Co 70 Fe 30 films with the bcc structure were grown on a Si (001) substrate with
TiN as a buffer by sputtering technique. The x-ray diffraction results confirmed the epitaxial …
