- Abstract
- Tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) observed in Fe/GaAlAs/GaMnAs magnetic tunnel junctions depends strongly on relative configuration of magnetizations in the GaMnAs and Fe layers. Using a series of field orientations, we show that non-collinear alignments of magnetization in this structure occur when the magnetic field is applied away from the easy axes of the magnetic layers; and we find that the values of TMR observed for non-collinear spin configurations are very different from those of collinear configurations. The observed behavior suggests the possibility of using this effect for multivalued magnetic memory devices. (C) 2013 AIP Publishing LLC.
