GMR
Solid-state Magnetic Random Access Memory (MRAM) devices are based on either the Giant Magneto-Resistive (GMR) effect or the Tunnelling Magneto-Resistive (TMR) effect. This picture illustrates the GMR effect. Free electrons are generated ‘spin-up’ and ‘spin-down’ in equal proportions. When the orientation of both magnetic layers is the same, only one type of electron is retarded (low-resistance state - top diagram). When the magnetic orientations of the layers are opposed, both spin-up and spin-down electrons suffer retardation (high-resistance state - bottom diagram).

TMR
Solid-state Magnetic Random Access Memory (MRAM) devices are based on either the Giant Magneto-Resistive (GMR) effect or the Tunnelling Magneto-Resistive (TMR) effect. This picture illustrates the TMR effect. The tunnelling energy for electrons that are spin-aligned with both magnetic layers is less than that for electrons that are spin-aligned with only one layer. When the orientation of both magnetic layers is the same, spin-aligned electrons have a higher probability of tunnelling through the insulating layer (low-resistance state - top diagram). When the magnetic orientations of the layers are opposed, the tunnelling probability of both spin-up and spin-down electrons is reduced (high-resistance state - bottom diagram).
