Abstract

We report on the experimental evidence of the tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) effect near 3% and its inversion in strongly antiferromagnetically coupled Fe (001)/([Si(0.2 nm)/Ge(0.2 nm)]*5)/Fe epitaxial structures with diffused interfaces. We explain the inversion of TMR with biasing voltage by resonant tunneling across impurity states with weak spin split E${\approx}$10 meV and ...
