Magnetic tunnel junctions (MT[!text type='Js']Js[!/text]) based on textured MgO barriers have thus far shown the highest tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) at room temperature. In contrast to traditional magnetic tunnel junctions; it appears that the large TMR observed in these systems arises from a type of coherent tunneling in which the symmetry of the Bloch state wave functions plays a critical role. We have fabricated MT[!text type='Js']Js[!/text] with artificial asymmetric barriers by depositing a thin layer of Mg of varying thickness (0-10 Å) prior to the growth of the MgO barrier into otherwise identical CoFeBMgOCoFeB MT[!text type='Js']Js[!/text]. The inelastic tunnel spectrum shows magnon and phonon excitation peaks similar to traditional Al2 O3 barriers; and an additional peak at about 300 meV. The conventional interpretation that this peak corresponds to density of states of the s electrons in the ferromagnetic electrodes; however; does not apply in the MgO system. © 2006 American Institute of Physics;
