Latest Patents
LeClair holds a patent for a tunnel junction device that enhances the storage and switching of signals. This invention demonstrates magnetoresistance (JMR) effects ranging from about 16% to several hundred percent at room temperature. The larger effects are observed when the tunneling resistance is comparable to the electrode film resistance over the junction area in cross-geometry junction measurements. The geometrically enhanced large JMR can be qualitatively explained by the nonuniform current flow over the function area when the tunneling resistance is comparable to the electrode film resistance. For a fixed junction area, the effective junction resistance can be varied from less than 1 ohm to several kilohms by controlling the thickness of the insulating layer or by appropriately selecting ferromagnetic films. The trilayer tunnel junctions of this invention are nonvolatile, stable, and reproducible. LeClair has 1 patent to his name.
