Shot noise in ferromagnetic single electron tunneling devices
Frequency dependent current noise in ferromagnetic double junctions with
Coulomb blockade is studied theoretically in the limit of sequential tunneling.
Two different relaxation processes are found in the correlations between spin
polarized tunneling currents; low frequency spin fluctuations and high
frequency charge fluctuations. Spin accumulation in strongly asymmetric
junctions is shown to lead to a negative differential resistance. We also show
that large spin noise activated in the range of negative differential
resistance gives rise to a significant enhancement of the current noise.Comment: 8 pages, 13 eps-figures include
Extrinsic Magnetotransport Phenomena in Ferromagnetic Oxides
This review is focused on extrinsic magnetotransport effects in ferromagnetic
oxides. It consists of two parts; the second part is devoted to an overview of
experimental data and theoretical models for extrinsic magnetotransport
phenomena. Here a critical discussion of domain-wall scattering is given.
Results on surfacial and interfacial magnetism in oxides are presented.
Spin-polarized tunnelling in ferromagnetic junctions is reviewed and
grain-boundary magnetoresistance is interpreted within a model of
spin-polarized tunnelling through natural oxide barriers. The situation in
ferromagnetic oxides is compared with data and models for conventional
ferromagnets. The first part of the review summarizes basic material
properties, especially data on the spin-polarization and evidence for
half-metallicity. Furthermore, intrinsic conduction mechanisms are discussed.
An outlook on the further development of oxide spin-electronics concludes this
review.Comment: 133 pages, 47 figures, submitted to Rep. Prog. Phy
