Macro-porous ceramics: processing and properties

Abstract: Porous ceramics are now expected to be used for a wide variety of industrial applications from filtration, absorption, catalysts and catalyst supports to lightweight structural components. During the last decade, tremendous efforts have been devoted for the researches on innovative processing technologies of porous ceramics, resulting in better control of the porous structures and substantial improvements of the properties. This article intends to review these recent progresses of porous ceramics. Because of a vast amount of research works reported in this field these days, the review mainly focuses on macro-porous ceramics whose pore size is larger than 50 nm. Followed by giving a general classification of porous ceramics, a number of innovative processing routes developed for critical control of pores are described, along with some important properties. The processes are divided into four categories including (i) partial sintering, (ii) sacrificial fugitives, (iii) replica templates and (iv) dir...

Giant tunneling magnetoresistance in Co2MnSi∕Al–O∕Co2MnSi magnetic tunnel junctions

Abstract: Magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) with a stacking structure of Co2MnSi∕Al–O∕Co2MnSi were fabricated using magnetron sputtering system. Fabricated MTJ exhibited an extremely large tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) ratio of 570% at low temperature, which is the highest TMR ratio reported to date for an amorphous Al–O tunneling barrier. The observed dependence of tunneling conductance on bias voltage clearly reveals the half-metallic energy gap of Co2MnSi. The origins of large temperature dependence of TMR ratio were discussed on the basis of the present results.
