  1. Yuri Suzuki, University of California-Berkeley, DMR 0604277 We have demonstrated that a junction composed of all ferromagnetic layers can exhibit distinct magnetic switching behavior. This junction represents a new class of devices where the magnetic barrier layer can perform magnetic filtering functionaiity. The junction behavior is possible due to the strong coupling at the isostructural interface and virtually no coupling at the non-isostructural interface. . Room Temperature Magnetic Barrier Layers in Magnetic Tunnel Junctions Cross-sectional high resolution transmission electron microscopy of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3/NiFe2O4(3 nm)/Fe3O4trilayer showing high crystallinity and epitaxy of the La0.7Sr0.3MnO3, NiFe2O4 and Fe3O4 films. The La0.7Sr0.3MnO3,/NiFe2O4 interface is characterized by defects within the spinel structure, while the NiFe2O4/Fe3O4 interface cannot be seen, indicating a coherent interface. Junction resistance as a function of magnetic field for a La0.7Sr0.3MnO3/NiFe2O4/Fe3O4 junction exhibits distinct high and low resistance states corresponding to the parallel and anti-parallel magnetization states.
