Thermal spin-transfer torque in magnetic tunnel junctions
Christian Heiliger, Michael Czerner
The thermal spin-transfer torque (TSTT) is an effect to switch the magnetic free layer in a magnetic tunnel junction by a temperature gradient only. We present ab initio calculatio…
Band Structure and Effective Masses of ZnMgO
Christian Franz, Marcel Giar, Markus Heinemann +2
We analyze the influence of the Mg concentration on several important properties of the band structure of ZnMgO alloys in wurtzite structure using ab initio calculations. For this…
Influence of the magnetic material on tunneling magnetoresistance and spin-transfer torque in tunnel junctions: Ab initio studies
Christian Franz, Michael Czerner, Christian Heiliger
The dependence of tunneling magnetoresistance and spin-transfer torque in FeCo/MgO/FeCo tunnel junctions on the Co concentration and the bias voltage are investigated ab initio. We…
Implementation of non-equilibrium vertex corrections in KKR: transport through disordered layers
Christian Franz, Michael Czerner, Christian Heiliger
The theoretical description of modern nanoelectronic devices requires a quantum mechanical treatment and often involves disorder, e.g. form alloys. Therefore, the ab initio theory…
Ab initio studies of the tunneling magneto-Seebeck effect: influence of magnetic material
Christian Heiliger, Christian Franz, Michael Czerner
We found a strong influence of the composition of the magnetic material on the temperature dependence of the tunneling magneto-Seebeck effect in based tunnel junctions. We us…
