Tunneling magnetoresistance effect in Co/TPD granular films

CoxC1-x granular films were deposited on Si substrates by a co-sputtering method. A large negative MR of 30.3% was obtained at 2 K for the sample prepared with the sputtering power of 50 W (C) and 4 W (Co). We have studied structural properties of Co-C granular films by Raman spectroscopy. Two peaks (D and G modes) from carbon bonds were clearly observed, and the intensity ratio of two peaks changed with the sputtering power, suggesting that the graphitization was promoted with the sputtering power. It was also revealed that the transport mechanism changed from tunneling to Mott’s variable range hopping and MR decreased with the sputtering power.
