Magnetic Properties of Rf Magnetron Sputtered Co-Ag-Cu Granular Thin Films

The observation of the magnetoresistance (MR) effect in granular films, where the magnetic particles are embedded in a non-magnetic matrix, has stimulated remarkable interest because of its potential technological application as magnetic sensors in the magnetic storage technology, and also due to...

description The observation of the magnetoresistance (MR) effect in granular films, where the magnetic particles are embedded in a non-magnetic matrix, has stimulated remarkable interest because of its potential technological application as magnetic sensors in the magnetic storage technology, and also due to interest in fundamental scientific research . The granular films can present MR effect even larger than in multilayers The MR effect was a large decrease in electrical resistivity that occurs when the magnetization of two layered or granular samples was aligned by an external magnetic field. In surface morphology was smooth and homogeneous and there was a little contamination on these surfaces as indicated through SEM, which may be attributed to the oil spots and fingerprints throughout the deposition process and preparation for various measurements.
