We have investigated the effect of annealing on the nonlocal spin valve signal in lateral spin valves with permalloy/MgO/Ag junctions. The results show that annealing up to 400 degrees C pushes up the spin polarization of the MgO interface to 38%, resulting in an increase in the nonlocal spin valve signal of up to 77.2 m Omega. Further increase in the annealing temperature up to 500 degrees C causes a decrease in the spin valve signal of 48.0 m Omega. However, the high spin polarization of 55% could be advantageous for the enhancement of the spin accumulation in lateral spin valves. (C) 2011 The Japan Society of Applied Physics
