摘要
We show that a thin Gd layer inserted between two thicker layers of permalloy contains an in-plane domain wall whose width can be controlled by varying the thickness of the Gd layer. The magnetoresistance of this structure has been measured with the current perpendicular to the plane, thus eliminating spurious contributions which have complicated previous measurements. This is the first measurement to show unambiguously that the domain wall contributes an additional resistance whose magnitude is in good agreement with theory.
