We also found that oxygen pressure during the MFO growth hardly affects the SMR while it influences on magnetic property of the MFO film. Our findings provide important clues to further understand the spin transport at interfaces containing magnetic insulators, facilitating development of low power consumption devices.","PeriodicalId":8093,"journal":{"name":"Applied Physics Express","volume":"87 22","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135091441","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The annealing duration was varied within the range of 10-120 min. For the normal pressure annealing, the flat-band voltage exhibited a shift towards the positive bias direction as the annealing duration increased. Conversely, for the 400 MPa, the flat-band voltage approached the ideal curve.
