Enhanced thermal spin transfer in MgO-based double-barrier tunnel junctions

Based on atomic first principles, we predict enhanced thermal spin transfer (TST) effects and small switching temperature gradient in Fe $| $ MgO $| $ Fe $| $ MgO $| $ Fe double-barrier magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs). At room temperature, temperature gradient ${\rm{\Delta }}T$ ∼10 ${\rm{K}}$ with...
