Abstract
Provided are a multi-layered magnetic thin film stack, a magnetic tunneling junction, and a data storage device. The multi-layered magnetic thin film stack includes a FePd alloy layer including an alloy of iron (Fe) and palladium (Pd); a tunneling barrier layer, which includes MgO and is disposed on the FePd alloy layer; and a Heusler alloy layer disposed between the FePd alloy layer and the tunneling barrier layer, wherein the FePd alloy layer and the Heusler alloy layer constitute a hybrid magnetic layer.
