C. Bellouard et al., OPTIMIZATION OF THE GIANT MAGNETORESISTANCE OBSERVED IN GRANULAR (COFE)AG ALLOYS, Journal of magnetism and magnetic materials, 148(1-2), 1995, pp. 311-312
We have optimized the giant magnetoresistance of coevaporated (CoFe)Ag
alloys as a function of the nature of the substrate, the sample thick
ness and the alloy composition. The alloy-substrates adherence has bee
n controlled with in situ resistance measurements. The observed variat
ion of the coercive field with particle size suggests the existence of
interparticle interactions.
