Magnetic Tunnel Junction-based molecular spintronics devices (MTJMSD)

What is it about?

The magnetic tunnel junction(MTJ) based molecular spintronics device (MTJMSD) approach provides solutions to decades-old fabrication difficulties in mass-producing molecular spintronics-based computer devices. To producing MTJMSD, molecular channels are bridged across the insulator of an MTJ with exposed side edges. In an MTJMSD, two ferromagnets (FMs) are simultaneously connected by an insulator film and the molecular channels along the exposed sides. In our prior experimental studies, we observed that paramagnetic molecules connected to ferromagnet produced unprecedented antiferromagnetic coupling when the competing coupling via insulator was minimized[1]. In this paper, our Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) study the effect of varying coupling via insulator (Ji) on the magnetic properties of an MTJMSD.
