The paper entitled "Interfacial giant tunnel magnetoresistance and bulk-induced large perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in (111)-oriented junctions with fcc ferromagnetic alloys: A first-principles study" has been published in Phys. Rev. B.

In this work (Masuda et al., 2021), Masuda et al. theoretically found that unconventional (111)-oriented magnetic tunnel junctions consisting of L11-ordered fcc ferromagnetic alloys and MgO barrier have both high tunnel magnetoresistance ratios and large perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, which are essential for the application to magnetic random access memories.
