Abstract
Based on the free-electron approximation method proposed by Slonczewski, we substitute the finite magnetic zone by a semi-infinite magnet. On this basis, the relationship between the tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) and the barrier height of magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) is studied. We find the TMR at small bias is always positive for various barrier heights when the MTJ has a symmetric configuration and the negative TMR can be observed when MTJ is with lower barrier height in the asymmetric condition.
