Résumé

We have studied the thickness and angular dependence of the magnetocurrent of hot electrons in a magnetic tunnel transistor (MTT) with crossed magnetic anisotropies. In a first step, we show that the magnetocurrent increases with ferromagnetic layer thickness as for MTTs with collinear magnetic configurations. The maximum magnetocurrent value is obtained to be 85%, which is close to the theoretical maximum value of 100% for MTTs with crossed magnetic configurations. In a second step, we demonstrate that we are able to reproduce both current vs field direction and current vs field intensity measurements in a framework taking into account a reduced number of magnetic parameters and a simple cosine dependence of the hot-electron current on the angle between magnetizations.
