Abstract
The magnetoresistance ratio of 230% at room temperature is reported. This was achieved in spin-valve type magnetic tunnel junctions using MgO barrier layer and amorphous CoFeB ferromagnetic electrodes fabricated on thermally oxidized Si substrates. The amorphous CoFeB electrodes are of great advantage to the polycrystalline FeCo electrodes in achieving a high homogeneity in small 100 nm-sized MTJs.

Electric-field-assisted switching in magnetic tunnel junctions

TL;DR: Electric-field-assisted reversible switching in CoFeB/MgO/CoFeB magnetic tunnel junctions with interfacial perpendicular magnetic anisotropy is reported, where the coercivity, the magnetic configuration and the tunnelling magnetoresistance can be manipulated by voltage pulses associated with much smaller current densities.

Spin-torque diode effect in magnetic tunnel junctions

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the application of a small radio-frequency alternating current to a nanometre-scale magnetic tunnel junction can generate a measurable direct current (d.c.) voltage across the device when the frequency is resonant with the spin oscillations that arise from the spin-torque effect.

TL;DR: Sputter-deposited polycrystalline MTJs grown on an amorphous underlayer, but with highly oriented MgO tunnel barriers and CoFe electrodes, exhibit TMR values of up to ∼220% at room temperature and ∼300% at low temperatures, which will accelerate the development of new families of spintronic devices.
