Abstract

The effects of the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) on the tunneling magnetoresistance of ferromagnet/semiconductor/normal-metal tunnel junctions are investigated. Analytical expressions for the tunneling anisotropic magnetoresistance (TAMR) are derived within an approximation in which the dependence of the magnetoresistance on the magnetization orientation in the ferromagnet originates from the ...
