Abstract:
It was found that the resistivity of (001)Fe/(001)Cr is lowered by a big value in a magnetic field [1]. The cause of this giant magnetoresistance is that the transition of the conduction electrons between the two layers is function on the spin [1]. A tunnel barrier between two ferromagnetic layers is a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) which is used for nonvolatile memory, spin field-effect transistor and spin logic devices [2]. This MTJ can be obtained by the deposition of the first ferromagnetic layer in a magnetic field, than is deposited the tunnel barrier, than is deposited the second ferromagnetic layer in an opposite magnetic field.
