摘要:

研究了一系列垂直排列的Ta/Pd/IrMn/CoFe/Ta $(\textit{x})$ /CoFeB/MgO $(\textit{y})$/CoFeB $(\textit{z})$ /Ta/Pd磁性隧道结的磁性能与退火温度/时间、钉扎电极中软铁磁电极和Ta尘化层厚度的关系以及它们与隧道磁阻比的关系。我们得到了一个大的垂直交换偏置为79.6 $\,$ kA/m的$x=0.3\,$ nm。对于具有$z=1.05\,$ nm的叠层,软电极的磁性质类似于超顺磁性的特征。对于具有$x=0.4\,$ nm、$y=2\,$ nm和$z=1.20\,$ nm的堆叠,在后退火温度$T_\textrm{ann}=330\,^{\circ}$ C下退火60 min后,交换偏压呈现出显著降低,而层间交换耦合和单位面积的饱和磁化强度在$T_\textrm{ann}=340\,^{\circ}$ C下退火60 min后急剧衰减。同时,隧道磁阻比在$T_\textrm{ann}=300\,^{\circ}$ C下退火60 min后显示出$65.5\%$的峰值,对于较高的退火温度($T_\textrm{ann}\geq330\,^{\circ}$ C),显著降低至$10\%$,对于较长的退火时间($T_\textrm{ann}=300\,^{\circ}$ C,90分钟),显著降低至$14\%$。我们将隧道磁电阻率的大幅度降低归因于钉扎电极中交换偏置的损失。

英文摘要:

We investigate the dependence of magnetic properties on the post-annealing temperature/time, the thickness of soft ferromagnetic electrode and Ta dusting layer in the pinned electrode as well as their correlation with the tunnel magnetoresistance ratio, in a series of perpendicular magnetic tunnel junctions of materials sequence Ta/Pd/IrMn/CoFe/Ta$(\textit{x})$/CoFeB/MgO$(\textit{y})$/CoFeB$(\textit{z})$/Ta/Pd. We obtain a large perpendicular exchange bias of 79.6$\,$kA/m for $x=0.3\,$nm. For stacks with $z=1.05\,$nm, the magnetic properties of the soft electrode resemble the characteristics of superparamagnetism. For stacks with $x=0.4\,$nm, $y=2\,$nm, and $z=1.20\,$nm, the exchange bias presents a significant decrease at post annealing temperature $T_\textrm{ann}=330\,^{\circ}$C for 60 min, while the interlayer exchange coupling and the saturation magnetization per unit area sharply decay at $T_\textrm{ann}=340\,^{\circ}$C for 60 min. Simultaneously, the tunnel magnetoresistance ratio shows a peak of $65.5\%$ after being annealed at $T_\textrm{ann}=300\,^{\circ}$C for 60 min, with a significant reduction down to $10\%$ for higher annealing temperatures ($T_\textrm{ann}\geq330\,^{\circ}$C) and down to $14\%$ for longer annealing times ($T_\textrm{ann}=300\,^{\circ}$C for 90 min). We attribute the large decrease of tunnel magnetoresistance ratio to the loss of exchange bias in the pinned electrode.
