Abstract
We review the giant tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) in ferromagnetic-insulat
or-ferromagnetic junctions discovered in recent years, which is the magneto
resistance (MR) associated with the spin-dependent tunneling between two fe
rromagnetic metal films separated by an insulating thin tunnel barrier. The
theoretical and experimental results including junction conductance, magne
toresistance and their temperature and bias dependences are described.
