Thermoelectric Modeling of the Non-Ohmic Differential Conductance in a Tunnel Junction containing a Pinhole
Zhongsheng Zhang, David A. Rabson
To test the quality of a tunnel junction, one sometimes fits the bias-dependent differential conductance to a theoretical model, such as Simmons's formula. Recent experimental work…

Diagnosis and Location of Pinhole Defects in Tunnel Junctions using only Electrical Measurements
Zhongsheng Zhang, David A. Rabson
In the development of the first generation of sensors and memory chips based on spin-dependent tunneling through a thin trilayer, it has become clear that pinhole defects can have…
