Spin-gapless semiconductors (SGSs) with Dirac-like band crossings may exhibit massless fermions and dissipationless transport properties. In this study, by applying the density functional theory, novel multiple linear-type spin-gapless semiconducting band structures were found in a synthesized R 3 − c -type bulk PdF3 compound, which has potential applications in ultra-fast and ultra-low power spintronic devices. The effects of spin-orbit coupling and on-site Coulomb interaction were determined for the bulk material in this study. To explore the potential applications in spintronic devices, we also performed first-principles combined with the non-equilibrium Green’s function for the PdF3/Ga2O3/PdF3 magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ). The results suggested that this MTJ exhibits perfect spin filtering and high tunnel magnetoresistance (~5.04 × 107).

In this paper, we investigate the effect of vacancy defects on spin transport in graphene-based magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ). An increase in conductance was seen in vacancy-defected MTJ structure which is in contrast to the results reported in past where a decrease in conductance with vacancy was observed for graphene sheets. This increase in conductance may be due to the use of CrO2 half-metallic ferromagnet (HMF) electrodes instead of metallic or ferromagnet (FM) electrodes. Furthermore, high tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) [Formula: see text]99% and perfect spin filtration was obtained for both vacancy-defected and no-defect (pristine) MTJ structures. The TMR in vacancy-defected structure is seen to decrease by 6.2% and by 13% at bias voltages of 1.2[Formula: see text]V and 1.4[Formula: see text]V, when compared to TMR in no-defect MTJ structure.

A magnetic tunnel junction Fe3O4/MgO/Fe with (001) layer orientation is considered. The junction magnetic energy is analyzed as a function of the angle between the layer magnetization vectors under various magnetic fields. The tunnel magnetoresistance is calculated as a function of the external magnetic field. In contrast with junctions with unidirectional anisotropy, a substantially lower magnetic field is required for the junction switching.
