Magnetic field sensors, based on giant magnetoresistance (GMR) effect, have a wide range of practical implementations. One of them is the use as a positioning device in different kind of actuators. Here we report on modelling of magnetoresistivity response of spin-valve (SV) based GMR structure in a various geometry of SV positioning with respect to a magnetic reference label. The model includes the magnetic label of a certain shape producing a nonhomogeneous magnetic field in 3D space and moving along a straight line in front of SV device. Different mutual label-SV positioning is considered. The reaction of micromagnetic configuration in the ferromagnetic layers and corresponding magnetoresistive effect of the SV is calculated and analyzed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
