Magnetoresistive effects in planar NiFe nanoconstrictions
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study focuses on domain wall resistance in Ni80Fe20 nanowires containing narrow constrictions down to 15 nm in width. Distinct differences in the magnetoresistance curves were found to depend on the constriction size. Wider constrictions are dominated by the overall anisotropic magnetoresistance of the structure, while constrictions narrower than ;40 nm exhibit an additional distinct contribution from a domain wall. The effect is negative and typically varies from 1% to 5%. © 2004 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1682831#

Transition to linear domain walls in nanoconstrictions.
Domain walls in nanoconstrictions are investigated with a focus on thermal properties. In general, the magnetization component perpendicular to the easy axis which in a domain wall usually occurs has a value different from the easy-axis bulk magnetization value with a separate phase transition at a critical temperature below the Curie temperature. Since this effect is the more pronounced the sm...
متن کاملMagnetotransport and domain structures in nanoscale NiFe/Cu/Co spin valve
Nanoscale spin-valve structures with a width as small as 70 nm were fabricated using nanoimprint lithography and ion milling or lift off. The spin-valve multilayers consisting of NiFe~10 nm!/Co~1 nm!/Cu~13 nm!/Co~10 nm!/NiFe~2 nm! were deposited using direct current sputtering. The effects of device size, as well as fabrication process on domain structures, switching fields, switching field var...
متن کاملDevelopment of Novel Prototype Scalable Magnetoresistive Random Access Memory
MRAM has received a great deal of attention in recent years for its potential to become a universal memory capable of nonvolatility, infinite cycleability, fast switching speeds, high density, and low cost. However, the limitations of conventional design architectures have made MRAM difficult to realize. In this work, a new annular currentperpendicular-to-plane (CPP) giant magnetoresistive (GMR...
متن کاملLarge tunneling anisotropic magnetoresistance in (Ga,Mn)As nanoconstrictions.
We report a large tunneling anisotropic magnetoresistance (TAMR) in (Ga,Mn)As lateral nanoconstrictions. Unlike previously reported tunneling magnetoresistance effects in nanocontacts, the TAMR does not require noncollinear magnetization on either side of the constriction. The nature of the effect is established by a direct comparison of its phenomenology with that of normal anisotropic magneto...
متن کاملIntegrated setup for the fabrication and measurement of magnetoresistive nanoconstrictions in ultrahigh vacuum.
A UHV instrument is presented for in situ fabrication of nanostructures and in situ investigation of their magnetoresistance. Nanostructures of diverse shape and size are created from thin films utilizing a focused ion beam. The magnetic nanostructures are contacted via a micromanipulator, which makes it possible to address the individual structures. The system is additionally equipped with a s...
