In this contribution, we calculate the spin-dependent ballistic and coherent transport through epitaxial Fe/ZnSe (001) simple and double magnetic tunnel junctions with two different interface terminations: Zn-terminated and Se-terminated. The electronic structure of the junctions is modeled by a second-nearest neighbors {it spd} tight-binding Hamiltonian parametrized to {it ab initio} calculated band structures, while the conductances and the tunneling magnetoresistance are calculated within Landauers formalism. The calculations are done at zero bias voltage and as a function of energy. We show and discuss the influence of the interface structure on the spin-dependent transport through simple and double tunnel junctions.
