| Research Abstract |
Heusler alloy thin films are promising as ferromagnetic electrode materials because they feature high spin polarization arising from their potentially half-metallic nature. High-quality heterostructures with Heusler alloy thin films were developed for device applications. Given these heterostructures, excellent devices characteristics were demonstrated for magnetic tunnel junctions. Furthermore, giant oscillations in spin-dependent tunneling resistances as a function of barrier thickness were found for fully epitaxial magnetic tunnel junctions with Heusler alloy Co2Cr0.6Fe0.4Al electrodes and a MgO barrier.
