Tunneling characteristics of HgBr 2 intercalated superconducting Bi2212 single crystals have been obtained by using 10 x 10 mm 2 intrinsic Josephson junction stacks, so called mesa structures. The spin degenerate current is driven along the c‐axis with Au layer using point contact tunneling assembly at 4.2 K. The spin polarized current is also driven along the c‐axis of crystals with Au/Co/Au multilayer. In order to understand the role of ferromagnetic layer (Co), quasiparticle branches are examined with and without magnetic field. The magnetic field evolution of switching currents are obtained for gaining further insight about the spin injection through the stack. (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
