Spin-dependent conductance across a manganate-barrier-manganate junction has recently been demonstrated. The junction is a La 0.67 Sr 0.33 MnO 3 -SrTiO 3 -La 0.67 Sr 0.33 MnO 3 trilayer device supporting current-perpendicular transport. Large magnetoresistance of up to a factor of five change was observed in these junctions at 4.2K in a relatively low field of the order of 100 Oe. Temperature and bias dependent studies revealed a complex junction interface structure whose materials physics has yet to be understood.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
