ABSTRACT
The discovery of two-dimensional (2D) magnetic materials makes it possible to realize in-plane magnetic tunnel junctions. In this study, the transport characteristics of an in-plane double barrier magnetic tunnel junction (IDB-MTJ) based on Cr2C have been studied by density functional theory combined with the nonequilibrium Green's function method. The results showed its maximum tunneling magnetoresistance ratio (TMR) value reached 6.58 × 1010. Its minimum TMR value (3.86 × 106) was also comparable to those of conventional field effect transistors (FETs). Due to its giant TMR and unique structural characteristics, the IDB-MTJ based on Cr2C has great potential applications in magnetic random access memory (MRAM) and logic computing.
