| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Towards the creation of room temperature half-metal ferromagnetic tunnel junction using Magnetite (Fe3O4) which is the spinel-type oxide material and is expected to be half-metallic from the theoretical calculation as the electrodes and a transition metal oxide having the same spinel structure as a barrier, we established the elemental technologies. First, we have succeeded in producing a very flat substrate by heat treatment of the MgO substrate. Then performed a selection of the barrier layer. Although CoCr2O4 which was originally planned was found to be ineligible , MgTi2O4 was found to be excellent as a barrier material in terms of surface morphology as well as crystallinity. Furthermore, Fe3O4 as electrodes and CoFe2O4 as the magnetic pinning layer have been successfully selectively grown with high accuracy just by the control of the oxygen flow rate, respectively.
