Spin-Polarized Electron Transfer in Multilayers with Different Types of Rough Interfaces

In this study, the influence of interfacial roughness of multilayers structures on spin filter tunneling is investigated at low biases as a function of interfacial roughness type. The results show that the roughness causes the reduction of resonant tunneling, maximum achievable tunneling magneto resistance (TMR), and spin-filtering efficiency of tunneling structures. Based on the numerical results, decreasing the electronic devices’ efficiency...
