摘要
We report on room temperature 1/f noise in fully epitaxial Fe (45 nm)/MgO (2.6 nm)/Fe (10 nm) magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) with and without carbon doping of the Fe/MgO bottom interface. We have found that the normalized noise (Hooge factor) asymmetry between parallel and antiparallel states may strongly depend on the applied bias and its polarity. Both types of MTJs exhibit record of low Hooge factors being at least one order of magnitude smaller than previously reported. (c) 2007 American Institute of Physics.
