Abstract
We propose a high-performance magnetic tunnel junction by making electronic analogs of optical phenomena such as anti-reflections and Fabry-Pèrot resonances. The devices we propose feature anti-reflection enabled superlattice heterostructures sandwiched between the fixed and the free ferromagnets of the magnetic tunnel junction structure. Our predictions are based on non-equilibrium Green's function spin transport formalism coupled self-consistently with the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert-Slonczewski equation. Owing to the physics of bandpass spin filtering in the bandpass Fabry-Pèrot magnetic tunnel junction device, we demonstrate an ultra-high boost in the tunnel magneto-resistance (≈5 × 104%) and nearly 1200% suppression of spin transfer torque switching bias in comparison to a traditional trilayer magnetic tunnel junction device. The proof of concepts presented here can lead to next-generation spintronic device design harvesting the rich physics of superlattice heterostructures and exploiting spintronic analogs of optical phenomena.
