The barrier thickness in magnetic spin-dependent tunnel junctions with Al2O3 barriers has been measured using grazing incidence x-ray reflectivity and by fitting the tunneling current to the Simmons model. We have studied the effect of glow discharge... Read More about Determination of the thickness of Al₂O₃ barriers in magnetic tunnel junctions.
