Popis: The hot electron transport phenomenon has been investigated in magnetic tunnel transistors with various base layer thicknesses. In terms of Au layer thickness, the magneto-current and the transfer ratio were at a maximum when the Au layer thickness was approximately 8.0 nm. For the magnetic layer thickness, the transfer ratio decreased monotonically with increasing magnetic layer thickness. The magneto-current increased with increasing magnetic layer thickness up to 3.0 nm, and a maximum increase of approximately 370% was observed at 77 K.
