摘要：
We describe the microfabrication process of a granular nanobridge structure consisting of electrodes separated by a nanometer-sized gap in which a thin insulating Co-Al-O granular film is filled, and discuss the observed Coulomb blockade with a clear threshold voltage (V-th) and the enhanced tunnel magnetoresistance of about 30% at a voltage slightly above V-th. Recent results of our scanning tunneling microscopy studies to clarify the topographic features and single electron tunneling phenomena on the surface of Co-Al-O granular films are also presented.
