Abstract

Magnetic tunnel junctions with ZnSe barriers were fabricated with a combination of magnetron sputtering, ion beam sputtering, and effusion cell evaporation. Tunneling magnetoresistance values of ∼10% are observed at room temperature. The temperature and barrier thickness dependences of the junction resistance and tunneling magnetoresistance are consistent with a predominant direct tunneling mechanism when the barrier thickness is less than ∼10 nm thick.
