The Features of the Structure and Magnetic Properties of Co-SiO2, Co-Al2O3 Composite Films with Tunneling Magnetoresistance Effect

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the present work, we have studied the structural, magnetic and magnetoresistive properties of Cox(SiO2)100-x and Cox(Al2O3)100-x composite thin films, obtained by magnetron co-sputtering of metallic and insulator targets. It was shown by transmission electron microscopy and by temperature and field dependences of the magnetization that the films have a fine granular structure. For a wide range of compositions an adequate description was possible in frame of the model of homogeneous non-interacting superparamagnetic hexagonal lattice Co particles. Magnetoresistive sensor prototypes were designed on the base of an optimized magnetoresistive Co50(Al2O3)50 composite films
