Abstract:
A conductance blockade effect has been observed in the magnetic tunnel junction consisting of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 electrodes and a SrTiO3 barrier. The blockade effect is correlated with the space-charge trap states in the barrier. The blockade threshold eV(B)=128 meV is significantly greater than Coulomb charging energy E-C=11 meV. The blockade can be lifted with a magnetic field, accompanied by a very large magnetoresistance up to 10 000%. The intriging blockade behavior is distinctly different from the conventional Coulomb blockade effect, showing a unique spin-dependent tunneling process mediated by the localized charge trap states.
