摘要:

In the present contribution, we intend to present some magnetoresistance results obtained in our  laboratory in the last five years. In these studies, our main interest was in the anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) in bulk (i.e., macroscopic size) ferromagnets such as microcrystalline (mc) and/or nanocrystalline (nc) fcc-Ni, fcc-Co and hcp-Co as well as Ni-Co alloys.

First, we will describe low-field results (H £ 10 kOe) at T = 300 K. Here, we will show that in nc-Ni, the AMR splitting of the resistivity (the difference between the longitudinal and the transverse resistivity in the magetically saturated state) scales linearly with the zero-field resistivity where the internal parameter is the grain size. In this context, we discuss the recently highlighted separation of AMR into extrinsic and intrinsic contributions. The next topic will be a comparison, for the first time, of the AMR of fcc-Co and hcp-Co. It turned out from our studies that AMR(fcc-Co) » 2 AMR(hcp-Co). Finally, we will discuss the influence of demagnetizing effects on the shape of the M(H) and MR(H) curves of strip-shaped thin foil samples.

In the second part of the talk, high-precision magnetoresistance results will be presented up to 70 kOe or 140 kOe magnetic fields on mc-Ni and nc-Ni metal and two Ni-Co alloys. It will be pointed out that at T = 3 K, for extracting the AMR parameters, a Kohler analysis should be carried out due to the presence of the Lorentz-force-induced ordinary magnetoresistance (OMR) contribution which is especially strong for pure microcrystalline (coarse-grained) Ni. At T = 300 K, the OMR contribution is negligible and here we analyzed the field-dependence of resistivity in high magnetic fields. Our results hint at the necessity for a refinement of the existing theories of the description of the field dependence.
