A comprehensive review of giant magnetoresistance in spin-valve sandwiches and
multilayers is presented, highlighting the experimental and theoretical results which are of …

We review the use of specular X-ray reflectivity (XRR) for the characterization of thin-film and
surface structures. Specular X-ray scattering at small scattering vectors allows …

Nanomaterials: Synthesis, Properties and Applications provides a comprehensive
introduction to nanomaterials, from how to make them to example properties, processing …

We have observed isotropic giant magnetoresistance (GMR) in nonmultilayer magnetic
systems using granular magnetic solids. We show that GMR occurs in magnetically …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the physics of giant magneto resistance (GMR).
The chapter emphasizes the role of the spin-polarized electronic band structure that is …

We present an experimentalist's view of the theory and published data for the
magnetoresistance (MR) of a multilayer composed of alternating ferromagnetic (F) and non …

This chapter contains a brief review of the giant magnetoresistance (GMR) effect exhibited
by magnetic multilayers, granular alloys, and related materials. Subjects covered include a …

Much of our understanding of the atomic-scale magnetic structure and the dynamical
properties of solids and liquids was gained from neutron-scattering studies. Elastic and …

The authors discuss some of the fundamental properties unique to magnetic multilayers.
Complex spin configurations are examined for many different systems and are shown to …

We report a comparative study of the spin-dependent electronic transport in two types of
granular ferromagnetic systems: ferromagnet metal (Ni-Ag, Co-Ag) and ferromagnet …
