Abstract
Oriented c-axis films of the hexagonal triangular antiferromagnetic ε-Mn3Ga have been used in bottom-pinned synthetic antiferromagnet magnetic tunnel junctions with MgO barriers, which show up to 150% tunneling magnetoresistance at room temperature. Exchange bias fields as high as 150 mT can be achieved for samples field-cooled from 100 °C. Thin films of the antiferromagnet have a Néel temperature in excess of 650 K and provide an interface exchange energy with CoFe of 0.09 mJ m−2. They show an isotropic uncompensated magnetization of Ms = 48 kA m−1, with a coercivity μ0Hc > 3 T.
