Shape-coupled magnetoresistive structures: a new approach to higher sensitivity

Technical Physics Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

A new type of anisotropic magnetoresistive structures is proposed in which the shape of ferromagnetic elements repeats the shape of nonmagnetic conducting shunts. The results of numerical simulations with allowance for inhomogeneous magnetization distribution showed that these shape-coupled structures exhibit a significant (~70%) increase in sensitivity as compared to that of classical barber-pole structures.
