Thin Film Systems Based on Co and Cr Or Cu: Magnetoresistive Properties and Application

“…The increasing of coercivity as a result of phase state changing of sample. Thus at work [5] has been reported that the in-plane coercivity can be increased by thermal treatment from 1 to 24 mT. According to work [5] structural and magnetic properties of structures based on Co and Cr are good candidate for using as sensing elements of magnetic sensors and as hard spin injectors.…”

Peculiarity of hysteresis of field dependence is availability double peak (see, for example, magnetoresistance dependence vs. applied field for film system Co(5)/Cr(13)/Co(20)/S (Fig.…”

“…Today, the nanosize structures based on such magnetic materials as Co or Fe in aggregate with non-magnetic materials like Cr, Cu, Ag Au etc. use extensively at formation of all types of structures listed above [5][6][7][8].…”

Toward mechano-spintronics: Nanostructured magnetic multilayers for the realization of microcantilever sensors featuring wireless actuation for liquid environments

“…Therefore, at remanence, a small out-of-plane component of the magnetization is present. The hard material Co 80 Cr 20 (CoCr in the following text) was chosen for its perpendicular anisotropy, well known and exploited for a number of applications (Chiolerio et al, 2009); in fact, a significant component of the magnetization is oriented out of the plane of the film even in the in-plane remanence (IPR) state (Fisher et al, 1984;Svedberg et al, 2002). In contrast, the (Co 5 Cu 10 ) 5 multilayer structure (CuCo in the following text) was chosen because of the strong shape anisotropy typical of very thin ferromagnetic layers which favors the parallel alignment of the magnetization of each Co layer; dipolar coupling among different layers may play a role too in keeping the magnetization parallel to the film plane (Fruchart and Thiaville, 2005).…”
