Observation of spin-polarized tunneling by scanning tunneling microscopy
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract The tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) in ferromagnet–vacuum–ferromagnet junction was studied by using an STM setup. After in situ cleaning of both of two ferromagnetic electrodes, up to 20% of TMR was observed. Such a signal was not observed for air gap nor nonmagnetic electrode. This technique is suitable for basic research of the TMR effect.
