abstract = {By combining first-principles calculations with transport
theory we investigate the origin of the magnetoresistance of
a magnetic tunnel junction consisting of a ferromagnetic and
an antiferromagnetic lead. The (001) oriented Fe/vacuum/Cr
planar junction serves as model junction. Even though the
conduction electrons of antiferromagnetic Cr are
spin-degenerate, it is possible to observe magnetoresistance
due to two mechanisms: Firstly, the surface magnetism of Cr
creates a spin-dependent potential barrier, and secondly,
exchange-split surface states and resonances result in a
tunneling conductance which depends on the relative
orientation of the Fe and Cr magnetizations. Spin-dependent
tunneling between a ferromagnet and an antiferromagnet
happens frequently in tunneling setups such as in
spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy or magnetic
tunnel junctions for magnetic random access memory.},
