A. Gerber et al., TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENCE OF RESISTANCE AND MAGNETORESISTANCE OF NANOGRANULAR CO-AG FILMS, Physical review. B, Condensed matter, 57(21), 1998, pp. 13667-13673
We report a number of unusual features in the temperature dependence o
f the resistance and the magnetoresistance of nanogranular Co-Ag films
at low; temperatures. These include a nonmonotonic temperature depend
ence of the resistance in a nonmagnetized state, anomalously low expon
ents in the power-law temperature dependence of the resistivity (down
to rho(proportional to)T(1.1)) at high magnetic field, and almost line
ar temperature dependence of the giant magnetoresistance with no satur
ation at low temperature.
