Giant tunnel magnetoresistance in in-plane magnetic tunnel junctions based on the heterointerface-induced half-metallic 2H-VS2
Magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) constructed from atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) magnetic materials have attracted great attention in recent years because it meets the requirements of miniaturization and high tunability of next-generation spintronic devices. In this work, we demonstrate that the ferromagnetic semiconductor VS is transformed into a half-metal in VS/MoSSe vdW heterostructure. Based on the heterostructure, we design an in-plane MTJs that comprise a monolayer VS barrier sandwiched between two VS/MoSSe heterostructure electrodes. Through density functional calculations combined with a nonequilibrium Green’s function technique, it is found that the tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) ratio as high as 4.35 × 10 can be achieved. Moreover, the TMR ratio can be tuned by the barrier length, and the maximum value exceeds 10. These results not only provide a novel route for designing MTJs using 2D ferromagnetic semiconductor material, but also demonstrate the great importance of vdW heterostructures in the design of spintronic devices.
期刊介绍:
The goal of Computational Materials Science is to report on results that provide new or unique insights into, or significantly expand our understanding of, the properties of materials or phenomena associated with their design, synthesis, processing, characterization, and utilization. To be relevant to the journal, the results should be applied or applicable to specific material systems that are discussed within the submission.
