Abstract
The impact of the micromagnetic configuration within the ferromagnetic layers on transport properties of hard/soft magnetic tunnel junctions is presented. An artificial ferrimagnetic (AFi) trilayer structure is used as a magnetically hard subsystem. Fluctuations in magnetization in the AFi affect the resistance of the tunnel junctions and are fully reflected in the shape and amplitude of the tunnel magnetoresistance signal.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
