Anomalous transport in half-metallic ferromagnetic CrO2

Abstract: We have investigated the transport properties of CrO 2 thin films deposited on TiO 2 and sapphire substrates and find subtle differences with respect to earlier reports. The films are good metals down to low temperatures, with residual resistivities of the order of 6 μ cm for films deposited on TiO 2 and two times higher for films on sapphire substrates. Magnetoresistance (MR) measurements in high fields show an as yet unobserved nonmonotonic behavior, which is particularly pronounced around the sign change th… Show more

“…4(b)) is observed at all the temperatures only for the [010] crystallographic orientation (supplementary information Fig.4). Similar anisotropic behavior in MR has been observed in the Pt/Co/Pt films 36 , CrO2 thin films 37 and MnSi nanowires 38 where it is related to the chiral magnetic structure present in these systems. The chiral magnetic structure lacks inversion symmetry and has a strong spin-orbit coupling which is mainly induced by the DM interaction.…”

“…The critical current density for our JJs is an order of magnitude higher than standard S-F-S JJs [17,31], despite the fact that our devices are almost 100 times longer, supporting the notion that exceptionally large triplet supercurrents can be generated in half-metallic ferromagnets. The device lengths are also significantly larger than the typical mean free path of CrO 2 , which is of the order of 50 nm [15,32]; therefore, our JJs are in the diffusive long junction limit. It has been theoretically predicted that the temperature dependence of the critical current of CrO 2 -based JJs would exhibit a peak at low temperature, and the position of the peak is determined by the junction length [15].…”
