| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Magnetocapacitance (MC) effect has attracted much attention due to their potential applications as highly-sensitive magnetic sensors, high-frequency devices and energy storage materials. The MC effect has been observed in multiferroic materials, spintronic devices and magnetic supercapacitors. Here we focus on magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) in spintronic devices, and we report a new phenomenon, in which the tunneling magnetocapacitance (TMC) increases with biasing voltage in MgO-based MTJs. We have observed a maximum TMC value of beyond 300%, which is the largest voltage-induced TMC effect ever reported for MTJs. We have found excellent agreement between theory and experiment using extended Debye-Frohlich model. Based on our calculation, we predict that the TMC ratio could reach 1000% in MTJs. Our work has provided a new understanding on AC spin-dependent transports in spintronic devices, and the results reported here may open a novel pathway for spintronics applications.
