The two-dimensional magnetic van der Waals heterojunctions have opened unprecedented opportunities to explore new physics due to their potential for spintronic applications.Here,combing density functional the-ory with non-equilibrium Green's function technique,we systematically investigate the spin-polarized trans-port properties of Cu/FeX2/h-BN/FeX2/Cu(X=Cl,Br,I)magnetic tunnel junctions(MTJs).It is found that the maximum tunneling magnetoresistance of Cu/FeCl2/h-BN/FeCl2/Cu,Cu/FeBr2/h-BN/FeBr2/Cu,and Cu/FeI2/h-BN/FeI2/Cu MTJs can reach 3443%,3069%,and 1676%,respectively.In the parallel state,the re-sistance area products at zero bias for Cu/FeCl2/h-BN/FeCl2/Cu,Cu/FeBr2/h-BN/FeBr2/Cu,and Cu/FeI2/h-BN/FeI2/Cu MTJs are 0.92,0.47,and 0.32Ω·μm2,respectively.More interestingly,our results indicate that Cu/FeX2/h-BN/FeX2/Cu(X=Cl,Br,I)MTJs can realize spin filtering effect,while Cu/FeCl2/h-BN/FeCl2/Cu and Cu/FeI2/h-BN/FeI2/Cu MTJs exhibit negative differential resistance.Our results demonstrate that large tunneling magnetoresistance,negative differential resistance effect,low resistance area product as well as excellent spin filtering effect coexist in Cu/FeCl2/h-BN/FeCl2/Cu and Cu/FeI2/h-BN/FeI2/Cu MTJs,and that the feasi-ble tunability of such a kind of van der Waals magnetic tunnel junctions is beneficial to designing next-generation logic devices.
