摘要: Significantly enhanced anisotropic magnetoresistance (MR) in permalloy (Ni0.81Fe0.19) films deposited on a thin (Ni0.81Fe0.19)1−xCrx or Ni1−xCrx underlayer is reported. The maximum ΔR/R enhancement was observed using the with x≈0.44 at an optimum thickness of ≈30–45 A, depending deposition technique. An 75%–150% for 45–430 A thick films, compared to without this underlayer. attributed decrease resistivity ρ and increase Δρ film due formation large (111) textured crystal grains underlayer, as revealed by x-ray diffraction results obtained synchrotron radiation.
