Tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) is a magnetoresistive effect that occurs in a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ), which is a component consisting of two ferromagnets separated by a thin insulator. If the insulating layer is thin enough (typically a few nanometres), electrons can tunnel from one ferromagnet into the other. 7, record 1, English, - tunneling%20magnetoresistance

La magnétorésistance tunnel [...] utilise la différence de densité d’état électronique en fonction du spin pour les matériaux ferromagnétiques. On considère que lors d’une transition tunnel, l'électron qui a traversé la barrière tunnel ne change pas de spin. Pour obtenir une [magnétorésistance tunnel], on réalise un empilement de deux couches ferromagnétiques séparées cette fois par une couche très mince(de l'ordre de nanomètre) d’isolant, jouant le rôle de barrière tunnel pour les électrons. 3, record 1, French, - magn%C3%A9tor%C3%A9sistance%20tunnel

À l'état fondamental, deux électrons situés dans la même orbitale sont dans un état singulet(les spins sont antiparallèles). Une transition électronique revient à retirer un électron d’une orbitale(n ou [pi]) pour le promouvoir dans une orbitale(généralement [pi]). Lors de la transition électronique, il y a donc deux électrons non appariés qui peuvent être de spin inverse(spins antiparallèles :état singulet) ou de même spin(spins parallèles :état triplet). L'état singulet est, en général, l'état le plus stable. 2, record 3, French, - %C3%A9tat%20triplet

We found that the disorder between Co and [gamma] atoms correlates with the total valence electron charges around [gamma] atom, because a difference in valence electron charges between Co and [gamma] atoms leads to a different shape of the local potential at each site. This means that Ti-based alloys are better than Cr-, Mn-, and Fe-based alloys in preventing the atomic disorder between Co and [gamma] atoms. 3, record 4, English, - atomic%20disorder
