We study the temperature and voltage dependence of the tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) using a phenomenological theory which takes into account the spin‐flip tunneling. We show that the temperature dependence becomes strong when the spin‐flip tunneling exists. (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
