“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] Therein, a tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) effect depends greatly on the thickness, topological properties of the free, pinned, barrier MTJ layers and/or the mean free path (MFP) of the electrons injected through those layers of an MTJ device. [10][11][12][13][14][15] In principle, majority carrier electrons with a long MFP can travel through a MTJ stack with low resistance (R ↑↑ ) when an external magnetic field aligns parallel to both magnetizations of the two ferromagnetic (FM) layers, whereas a higher resistance (R ↑↓ ) is observed if those FM magnetizations are opposite. 1,[3][4][5][6] Theoretical results showed that TMR ≈ 1100%, typically defined as (R ↑↓ −R ↑↑ )/R ↑↑ ), for a fully epitaxial MgO-MTJ could be achieved.…”
