K. Ounadjela et al., GIANT MAGNETORESISTANCE AND INDUCED EXCHANGE-ANISOTROPY IN MECHANICALLY ALLOYED CO30AG70, Journal of applied physics, 75(10), 1994, pp. 6921-6923
Giant magnetoresistance of 7.7% at 5 K is observed in bulk mechanicall
y alloyed Co30Ag70. Our recently defined delta(DELTArho/rho) technique
used to determine the predominant interactions within the system indi
cated that negative interactions dominate between the particles. Excha
nge anisotropy and metastable magnetization processes characterized by
large Barkhausen jumps are observed at low temperatures on a small vo
lume of the sample.
