TMC効果、絶縁層膜厚依存性、磁気トンネル接合

We have achieved the largest tunnel magnetocapacitance (TMC) of over 650% in the high frequency region at room temperature in magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) consisting of a ferromagnetic-layer/insulator/ferromagnetic-layer. The TMC was remarkable at low frequencies and only about 50% at high frequencies. In this study, by using MTJs with a FeCo/MgO/FeCo structure with a thin insulator of MgO, the response of the electric dipole at high frequencies was enhanced, resulting in a significant improvement in TMC. This is due to the high-frequency response of the interfacial electric dipole based on the Debye-Fröhlich (DF) model. We also calculate the insulator thickness dependence of the TMC effect by the extended DF model. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding on the exact mechanism of the TMC effect, and the prospect of an increasingly large TMC at higher frequencies opens exciting opportunities for novel spintronic applications.
