Theory of huge tunneling magnetoresistance in graphene
Abstract
We investigate theoretically the spin-independent tunneling magnetoresistance effect in a graphene monolayer modulated by two parallel ferromagnets deposited on a dielectric layer. For the parallel magnetization configuration, Klein tunneling can be observed in the transmission spectrum, but at specific oblique incident angles. For the antiparallel magnetization configuration, the transmission can be blocked by the magnetic-electric barrier provided by the ferromagnets. Such a transmission discrepancy results in a tremendous magnetoresistance ratio and can be tuned by the inclusion of an electric barrier.
