摘要： The first-principles calculation is employed to demonstrate the spin-selective transport properties and the non-collinear spin-transfer torque (STT) effect in the newly proposed Co/BeO/Co magnetic tunnel junction. The subtle spin-polarized charge transfer solely at O/Co interface gives rise to the interfacial spin-filter (ISF) effect, which can be simulated within the tight binding model to verify the general expression of STT. This allows us to predict the asymmetric bias behavior of non-collinear STT directly via the interplay between the first-principles calculated spin current densities in collinear magnetic configurations. We believe that the ISF effect, introduced by the combination between wurtzite-BeO barrier and the fcc-Co electrode, may open a new and promising route in semiconductor-based spintronics applications. 出版者： Melville: American Institute of Physics 出版日期： 2015-03-07 出處： Journal of applied physics, 2015-03, Vol.117 (9) 資源來源： AIP Publishing Journals 版權： 2015 AIP Publishing LLC. 識別號： ISSN: 0021-8979 識別號： EISSN: 1089-7550 識別號： DOI: 10.1063/1.4913780
