摘要:

近年来,具有垂直磁化电极和交换偏置膜的磁性隧道结引起了人们极大的兴趣。本文研究了Ta/Pd/IrMn/Co-Fe/Ta/Co-Fe-B/MgO/Co-Fe-B/capping/Pd磁性隧道结的隧道磁电阻与覆盖层的关系,即,Hf或Ta。在这些叠层中,结合了垂直交换偏置场和垂直磁各向异性。在室温下,与Ta的$(42.6\pm 0.7)\%$相比,确定Hf封端的样品的$(47.2\pm 1.4)\%$的隧道磁阻。有趣的是,该观察结果与Hf比Ta更高的硼吸收相关,这防止了$Δ_{\textrm{1}}$沟道的抑制并导致更高的隧道磁阻值。此外,两种样品的软电极的电阻率的温度依赖性主要由包括热涨落的Stoner-Wohlfarth模型描述。低温下的轻微偏差可归因于由钉扎磁性层系统产生的软电极上的扭矩。

英文摘要:

Recently, magnetic tunnel junctions with perpendicular magnetized electrodes combined with exchange bias films have attracted large interest. In this paper we examine the tunnel magnetoresistance of Ta/Pd/IrMn/Co-Fe/Ta/Co-Fe-B/MgO/Co-Fe-B/capping/Pd magnetic tunnel junctions in dependence on the capping layer, i.e., Hf or Ta. In these stacks perpendicular exchange bias fields of -500\,Oe along with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy are combined. A tunnel magnetoresistance of $(47.2\pm 1.4)\%$ for the Hf-capped sample was determined compared to the Ta one $(42.6\pm 0.7)\%$ at room temperature. Interestingly, this observation is correlated to the higher boron absorption of Hf compared to Ta which prevents the suppression of $Δ_{\textrm{1}}$ channel and leads to higher tunnel magnetoresistance values. Furthermore, the temperature dependent coercivities of the soft electrodes of both samples are mainly described by the Stoner-Wohlfarth model including thermal fluctuations. Slight deviations at low temperatures can be attributed to a torque on the soft electrode that is generated by the pinned magnetic layer system.
