Description

We have constructed the tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) junction of AuCr/SiO2/Co-SiO2/SiO2/AuCr with narrow current channels, where the TMR occurs in the Co-SiO2 layer with 10-50 nm thickness. The magnetic properties are independent of thickness, while the TMR properties depend fairly on thickness. The current (I)-bias voltage (V B) curve is nonlinear, namely the differential resistivity decreases with increasing V B, and also the magnetoresistance ratio decreases
