This system, that is FM/Insulator/FM on MgO (100) substrates, is a tunnel magneto resistance (TMR) structure often used in magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) devices. The Fe layer and MgO substrate makes the Fe film act like a free standing Fe monolayer weak interaction between the Fe layer and MgO substrate makes the Fe film act like a free-standing layer, with enhanced magnetic moment [1], [2]. TMR effect is a method by which MTJs are used in developing magneto-resistive random access memory (MRAM), magnetic sensors, and novel logic devices.
