Investigation of the thermal tolerance of silicon-based lateral spin valves

Abstract Improvement in the thermal tolerance of Si-based spin devices is realized by employing thermally stable nonmagnetic (NM) electrodes. For Au/Ta/Al electrodes, intermixing between Al atoms and Au atoms occurs at approximately 300 °C, resulting in the formation of a Au/Si interface. The Au–Si...
