Zero bias anomalies and magnon excitation in tunnel junctions with magnetic and nonmagnetic electrodes — •Volker Drewello, Zoë Kugler, Günter Reiss, and Andy Thomas — Universität Bielefeld, Fakultät für Physik, Dünne Schichten und Physik von Nanostrukturen, Universitätsstr. 25, 33615 Bielefeld

In order to understand the tunneling spectra of magnetic tunnel junctions, tunnel junctions are fabricated in which one or both ferromagnetic electrodes were replaced by non-magnetic metal (tungsten). The bias dependence of these junctions is investigated with high accuracy by inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy. Both types of junctions exhibit a zero bias anomaly that is different in size and sign compared to those of magnetic tunnel junctions, that is, junctions with two ferromagnetic electrodes. A pronounced difference is also found depending on the material that the electrons tunnel into, which is attributed to the excitation of magnons.
