Abstract
We report on the experimental evidence of the tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) effect near 3% and its inversion in strongly antiferromagnetically coupled Fe(001)∕([Si(0.2nm)∕Ge(0.2nm)]∗5)/FeFe(001)∕([Si(0.2nm)∕Ge(0.2nm)]*5)∕Fe epitaxial structures with diffused interfaces. We explain the inversion of TMR with biasing voltage by resonant tunneling across impurity states with weak spin split ΔE∼10meVΔE∼10meV and spin-dependent filtering in the spacer layer. The resonant tunneling is manifested in spin-dependent resonances close to zero biasing voltages related to antiferromagnetic coupling across impurity states.
