Description

To assess the effect of electronic structure of magnetic electrodes on the magnetoresistance of tunnel junctions (JMR) we made ab initio calculations of the electronic structure of BCC(1 0 0) Fe, and FCC(1 0 0) Co and Ni electrodes. We treat hopping to and propagation in the barrier as adjustable parameters and discuss features of the JMR attributable to the electronic structure of the electrodes.
