First-principles study on tunnel magnetoresistance effect with Cr-doped RuO_2 electrode
arxiv(2024)
摘要
We investigate the functionality of the Cr-doped
RuO_2 as an electrode of the magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ),
motivated by the recent experiment showing that Cr-doping into the
rutile-type RuO_2 will be an effective tool to control its
antiferromagnetic order and the resultant magnetotransport phenomena easily. We
perform first-principles calculation of the tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR)
effect in the MTJ based on the Cr-doped RuO_2
electrodes. We find that a finite TMR effect appears in the MTJ originating
from the momentum-dependent spin splitting in the electrodes, which suggests
that RuO_2 with Cr-doping will work as the electrode of the MTJ.
We also show that this TMR effect can be qualitatively captured using the local
density of states inside the tunnel barrier.
