Giant magnetoresistance and its dependence on processing conditions in magnetic granular alloys

Abstract: We have studied giant magnetoresistance (GMR) effect and its dependence on processing conditions in Fe-Ag and Co-Ag alloys made by magnetron sputtering. The effect of elevated substrate temperature on GMR has been investigated and compared with the results of post-deposition annealing. As a unique feature, in situ annealing yields a second GMR peak at high deposition temperatures, which is associated with a substantially reduced saturation field for GMR. Deposition rate was found to be another crucial paramete… Show more

“…The inverse relation has been observed during the annealing processes by several authors. [9][10][11] However, the fundamental question about the origin of spindependent scattering remains uncertain; the GMR is very sensitive to some preparation parameters, 12 and it is intimately related to the density as well as the size of the magnetic granules. 3 We obtained heterogeneous Co-Ag films having the various grain sizes by varying sputtering conditions.…”

“…Similarly, the negative MR is due to the GMR effect which arises from the spin-dependent scattering/spin fluctuation. This scattering emerges from the interaction between conduction electrons and the magnetic scattering center [25,26,55,56].…”
