The characteristic of Ferromagnetic metals are determined from the behavior of the valence electrons under the Fermi surface.⇒The magnetization occurs from the polarization of those electrons.Ex. Fe, Co, Ni : 3d and 4s electrons (Transition metals: 遷移金属 )
Parallel: Energy → decreasedAnti-parallel : Energy → increased
Magneto ResistanceMagneto Resistance• Resistance : The scattering of conduction electrons by the vibration of
lattice ⇒The “electrical” resistance has no difference between spin-up and spin-down
electrons.
• Resistance of transition metals– The conductivity of transition metals are mainly determined by 4s electrons.– 4s electrons can be scattered into 3d states.
⇒ Resistance of transition metals (For Cu, all 3d states are occupied and it shows high conductivity)
⇒ Scattering process (resistance) is related to the spin-orbital transition.
• By the magnetic field, the scattering process of ferromagnetic metals can be changed.
⇒ Spin-up electrons feel the different resistance from Spin-down ones.(The electronics considering the spin direction of electrons is called
“spintronics”.)
• Magnet resistance : R/R ~a few %.

The multilayer material shows strong GMR effects.

The insulating material has only a few atomic layers thick.⇒The probability of the tunneling through the insulator is large.

Requirements for HDDRequirements for HDD
• Compact size and fast reading– The size of magnetized area should be small.
⇒ It is difficult to read the direction of magnetization (binary) because of its weakness.

• MRAN– Magnetic working Random Access Memory– MARN combines RAM with HDD.
SummarySummary
• GMR effects was discovered by A. FertA. Fert and P. P. GrünbergGrünberg independently.
• GMR shows large magnetoresistance.– GMR ~50 % > MR ~ a few %
• The greatest contribution of GMR is the sensitive reading head for HDD.
• The TMR effect is based on the idea of GMR.– More sensitive reading head is being developed.
