AB  - We investigate the magnetic properties of the ferromagnetic insulator EuS in view of its potential in spin-filter tunnel contacts to silicon. We prepared thin polycrystalline EuS films directly on (001) oriented Si substrates that show well-defined magnetic properties down to the monolayer regime. Addressing the question of magnetic coupling between a EuS magnetic tunnel barrier and a CoO/Co magnetic electrode, we succeeded in realizing an independent magnetic switching behavior in this spin-valve-type system. These results are important prerequisites for future spin-dependent transport experiments. (C) 2011 American Institute of Physics. [doi:10.1063/1.3549609]
