a Scheme of the full device configuration. After the opening of small micrometric junctions by a lithographic step, top reference Al2O3/Co spin analyzer is deposited by ALD followed by sputtering. b Non-linear dc I–V characteristics show the expected tunneling behavior of the Al2O3/Co spin analyzer and c magneto-transport dc measurements reveal a −12% TMR spin signal. The epitaxial Ni(111)/graphene electrode is thus shown to produce a strong spin filtering effect.
