Study on TemperatureBias Characteristic of Magnetic Tunnel Junctions with MoS2 Barrier
MoS2 is a kind of twodimensional semiconductor material with unique band structure. For fewlayer MoS2, the band gap decreases significantly with the number of layers. Accordingly, the magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) with MoS2 barrier will show abundant and various physical properties. In this paper, the temperaturebias phase diagrams are calculated, respectively, for MTJs with singlelayer MoS2, doublelayer MoS2, threelayer MoS2 and fivelayer MoS2 barrier under different half the exchange splitting of the ferromagnetic electrodes. The calculations show that, the MTJs with singlelayer and threelayer MoS2 barrier is suitable to be applied at low temperature. In particular, the MTJs with singlelayer MoS2 barrier possess excellent performance at high bias. The optimized region of MTJs with doublelayer MoS2 barrier is located at room temperature and low bias. Therefore, they are favorable for the application of information storage. Through regulating the parameter of the ferromagnetic electrodes, the MTJs with fivelayer MoS2 barrier can work throughout a wide power range. The above results lay a solid theoretical foundation for the application of MTJs with MoS2 barrier.
