Magneto-impedance (MI) of a double-barrier MgO magnetic tunnel junction (DMTJ) is measured as a function of frequency (20 Hz-3 MHz) and DC bias (-1 to IV) under magnetic parallel and antiparallel states. A strong nonlinear effect is observed at all frequencies and the MI changes from positive to negative at the relaxation frequency similar to 1/RC. A frequency-dc bias (f-V) "phase diagram" is mapped out to describe the combination effects of the magneto-impedance response. The decay of the tunnel magneto-resistance (TMR) and tunnel magneto-capacitance (TMC) at high voltage is sufficiently reduced by the double-MgO barrier. The V-1/2 (the voltage that magnetic response drops to 1/2 of its maximum) of TMC reaches an average value of similar to 1.35 V. which is larger than the V-1/2 of TMR similar to 0.95 V, suggesting that the response of TMC is more stable than TMR for high frequency application.
