Spin-dependent tunneling structures are widely used in many spintronic devices and sensors. This paper describes the magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) characteristics caused by the inhomogeneous magnetic field of ferromagnetic layers. The extremely oblate magnetic ellipsoids have been used to mimic these layers. The strong effect of an inhomogeneous magnetic field on the magnetoresistive layers’ interaction was demonstrated. The magnetostatic coupling coefficient is also calculated.

The spin-polarized transport is investigated in a magnetic tunnel junction which consists of two ferromagnetic electrodes separated by a magnetic barrier and a nonmagnetic metallic spacer placed in distance above the two dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in presence of an inhomogeneous external modulated magnetic field and a perpendicular wave vector dependent effective potential. Based on the transfer matrix method and the nearly-free-electron approximation the dependence of the conductance and spin polarization on the Fermi energy of the electrons are studied theoretically the. strong oscillations with large amplitude investigated in spin polarization in terms of the Fermi energy due to the inhomogeneous magnetic field. The conductance in terms of the Fermi energy shows no oscillation in low energy but has a strong pick in middle region. this results may be useful for the development of spin electronic devices based on coherent transport, or may be used as a tunable spin-filter.

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.

One of the motivations for multiferroics research is to find an energy-efficient solution to spintronic applications, such as the solely electrical control of magnetic tunnel junctions. Here, we integrate spintronics and multiferroics by depositing MgO-based magnetic tunnel junctions on ferroelectric substrate. We fabricate two pairs of electrodes on the ferroelectric substrate to generate localized strain by applying voltage. This voltage-generated localized strain has the ability to modify the magnetic anisotropy of the free layer effectively. By sequentially applying voltages to these two pairs of electrodes, we successively and unidirectionally rotate the magnetization of the free layer in the magnetic tunnel junctions to complete reversible 180° magnetization switching. Thus, we accomplish a giant nonvolatile solely electrical switchable high/low resistance in magnetic tunnel junctions at room temperature without the aid of a magnetic field. Our results are important for exploring voltage control of magnetism and low-power spintronic devices.
