摘要
The observation of remanence effects in the magnetoresistance of a granular Au0.82Co0.18 film is reported. The results obtained, at low temperatures and low magnetic fields, are analyzed on the basis of a simple model for remnant giant magnetoresistance. The comparison with similarly measured magnetization remanence, shows that mainly the small ferromagnetic Co particles, of volume V < 4.5 nm(3), account for the giant magnetoresistance (GMR). The novel approach applied here for analyzing the dominant particles size in GMR, could be used for ether granular magnetic materials as well. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
