Theoretical modelling shows that the interplay of the orbital effects of a magnetic field and the Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling in the GaAs barrier leads to an independent contribution to the TAMR effect with uniaxial symmetry, whereas the Bychkov-Rashba spin-orbit coupling does not play a role. The effect is intrinsic to barriers with bulk inversion asymmetry.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-04-20T12:18:20.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "72.25.Dc", "75.47.-m" ], "keywords": [ "tunneling anisotropic magnetoresistance", "orbital effects", "fe/gaas/au junctions", "magnetic field", "epitaxially grown fe/gaas/au tunnel junctions" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review B", "year": 2009, "month": "Sep", "volume": 80, "number": 12, "pages": 121301 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009PhRvB..80l1301W" } } }
