Giant tunneling magnetoresistance up to 330% at room temperature in sputter deposited Co2FeAl/MgO/CoFe magnetic tunnel junctions
Magnetoresistance ratio up to 330% at room temperature (700% at 10 K) has been obtained in a spin-valve-type magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) consisting of a full-Heusler alloy Co2FeAl electrode and a M...

Direct observation of individual Barkhausen avalanches in nucleation-mediated magnetization reversal processes
We report the scaling behavior of Barkhausen avalanches [H. Barkhausen, Z. Phys. 20, 401 (1919).] along the hysteresis loop of a CoCrPt alloy film with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy for every fiel...

The magnetoelectric coupling existing in some multiferroics may allow the low-power electrical control of spintronics devices. However, room temperature magnetoelectric multiferroics are extremely rare, an exception being BiFeO3, a ferroelectric antiferromagnet. To be used for electrically controllable spintronics, BiFeO3 has to be coupled with a ferromagnetic material through an interfacial exchange interaction, and carefully engineered to show minimum leakage. Here, we propose a Mn doped/undoped bilayer strategy that allows obtaining large exchange bias as well as low leakage. This is an important step toward the manipulation of a magnetization by an electric field in a vertical geometry. ©2009 American Institute of Physics
