Abstract
Tunnel magnetocapacitance (TMC) ratios greater than 450% are observed at room temperature in epitaxial FeCo/MgAl2O4/FeCo(001) magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs). A large TMC is observed at a low bias of 75 mV, which is suitable for low-power electronics. The fitting results between experimental data and calculation based on extended Debye–Fröhlich model reveal that the large TMC ratio is obtained owing to the high spin polarization of FeCo and the spin capacitance of the lattice-matched interface between FeCo and MgAl2O4. Based on this model, a TMC ratio could reach 1500% in MTJs with a spin polarization of 90%.
