氧化物自旋电子学

Oxide spintronics

Manuel Bibes, Agnes Barthelemy

摘要:

随着二十世纪八十年代末和九十年代金属基自旋电子学的发展,在高质量氧化物薄膜和异质结构的生长方面取得了重要进展。虽然这最初是由于在钙钛矿铜氧化物中发现了高温超导性,但这一技术突破很快被应用于其他过渡金属氧化物,特别是混合价锰氧化物。锰氧化物薄膜中巨磁阻的发现引发了对这些材料的研究活动,但磁性氧化物在自旋电子学领域的第一个显着影响是使用这种锰氧化物作为磁性隧道结中的电极,产生的隧道磁阻比过渡金属电极大一个数量级。从那时起,氧化物自旋电子学的研究一直很激烈,最新的发展集中在稀磁氧化物和最近的多铁性。在本文中,我们将回顾氧化物自旋电子学的最重要的结果,强调材料物理以及自旋相关的输运现象,最后给出一些观点,对如何新的磁性氧化物的浪潮可能是有用的下一代自旋电子器件。

英文摘要:

Concomitant with the development of metal-based spintronics in the late 1980's and 1990's, important advances were made on the growth of high-quality oxide thin films and heterostructures. While this was at first motivated by the discovery of high-temperature superconductivity in perovskite Cu oxides, this technological breakthrough was soon applied to other transition metal oxides, and notably mixed-valence manganites. The discovery of colossal magnetoresistance in manganite films triggered an intense research activity on these materials, but the first notable impact of magnetic oxides in the field of spintronics was the use of such manganites as electrodes in magnetic tunnel junctions, yielding tunnel magnetoresistance ratios one order of magnitude larger than what had been obtained with transition metal electrodes. Since then, the research on oxide spintronics has been intense with the latest developments focused on diluted magnetic oxides and more recently on multiferroics. In this paper, we will review the most important results on oxide spintronics, emphasizing materials physics as well as spin-dependent transport phenomena, and finally give some perspectives on how the flurry of new magnetic oxides could be useful for next-generation spintronics devices.
