Abstract: When a metal or semiconductor is placed in a magnetic field, its electrical resistivity usually increases by a small amount. This phenomenon, known as magnetoresistance, can be readily explained in terms of the Lorentz force acting on the electrons carrying the electric current. Six years ago a remarkable new form of this familiar effect – "giant magnetoresistance" – was discovered, and this has been the subject of intense research and development ever since. Besides being an intriguing puzzle in fundamental condensed matter physics, giant magnetoresistance (GMR) also has obvious applications in the magnetic recording industry where it offers the promise of much greater information storage densities than those available at present.

Imre Bakonyi,László Péter +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the progress achieved over the last one and a half decades on ED multilayer films with GMR effect and to critically evaluate the GMR results reported for various element combinations accessible to the electrodeposition (ED) technique for the preparation of FM/NM multi-layer films (ED multilayered nanowires will be treated very briefly only).

Magnetic-Order Transition in Thin Fe Overlayers on Cr: Role of the Interfacial Roughness
TL;DR: In this article, the distribution of magnetic domains in a thin Fe overlayer on Cr is calculated as a function of the coverage thickness in the presence of roughness at the interface, and the spin-polarized electronic structure is determined by solving self-consistently a d-band model Hamiltonian in the mean-field approximation.
