Abstract
Recent years have seen a rapid development of spintronics. One of the major achievements of this field is the understanding of spin dependent process in various physical systems, for example, metallic multilayers showing the giant magnetoresistance (GMR). Today devices based on the GMR are revolutionizing electronic data storage. In this paper, we review recent developments in the research on GMR of low dimensional structures. We describe the magnetoresistance properties of magnetic multilayers, multilayered nanowires and nonopillars, etc.
Keywords
giant magnetoresistance; spin dependent scattering; spin-polarized electron current; low dimensional structures;
