摘要
The magnetoresistance effect for a magnetic tunnel junction ( MTJ) with Co2FeAl0.5Si0.5 electrodes on Cr buffered MgO ( 0 0 1) substrate has been investigated. The MTJ with B2- type Co2FeAl0.5Si0.5 electrode exhibited tunnel magnetoresistance ( TMR) ratio of 76% at room temperature ( RT) and 106% at 5K, while that with L2(1) structure showed 51% and 78% at RT and 5K, respectively. For both cases, the bias voltage dependence of TMR ratio is almost the same, but only for the MTJs with a Co2FeAl0.5Si0.5 electrode annealed at 600 degrees C shows a dip around similar to 200 mV.
