Encoding information onto the charge and spin state of a paramagnetic atom using MgO tunnelling spintronics

Résumé

An electrical current that flows across individual atoms or molecules can generate exotic quantum-based behavior, from memristive effects to Coulomb blockade and the promotion of quantum excited states. These fundamental effects typically appear one at a time in model junctions built using atomic tip or lateral techniques. So far, however, a viable industrial pathway for such discrete state devices has been lacking. Here, we demonstrate that a commercialized device platform can serve as this industrial pathway for quantum technologies. We have studied magnetic tunnel junctions with a MgO barrier containing C atoms. The paramagnetic localized electrons due to individual C atoms generate parallel nanotransport paths across the micronic device as deduced from magnetotransport experiments. Coulomb blockade effects linked to tunnelling magnetoresistance peaks can be electrically controlled, leading to a persistent memory effect. Our results position MgO tunneling spintronics as a promising platform to industrially implement quantum technologies.
