A new way of detecting very small magnetic fields is presented, using the magnetoresistance effect of laminated permalloy. The magnetic properties of permalloy/molybdenum/permalloy sandwiches are investigated. It was found that for molybdenum layers above ca. 1000 Å the effect of lamination decreases. Model calculations about the magnetic structures are presented. The calculated results agree with the experimental results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
