Ab initio study of electronic transport in the Co/PZT-based tunnel junctions — •Vladislav Borisov1, Sergey Ostanin1, Igor Maznichenko2, Arthur Ernst1, and Ingrid Mertig1,21Max-Planck-Institut für Mikrostrukturphysik, Weinberg 2, D-06120 Halle, Germany — 2Institut für Physik, Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg, D-06099 Halle, Germany

Magnetoelectric coupling at the multiferroic interfaces FM/FE (FM=Co,Fe, FE=PbTiO3,PZT) was studied from first principles. The magnetic interfacial effect, which is controlled by the FE polarization, originates from the charge transfer and d-orbital redistribution of Co/Fe and Ti mediated by the p-states of interfacial oxygens. In PZT, the presence of Zr dopants may locally enhance the effect. We analysed also the spin polarization of tunneling electrons in Co/PTO/Co and Fe/PTO/Co junctions, in which the calculated four-state conductance can account for the ferroelectrically switchable TMR signal observed recently in LSMO/PZT/Co [1].
