DESCRIPTION:
Initially used in read heads of hard disk drives, and while disputing a piece of the market to the flash memories, GMR devices have broadened their range of usage by growing towards magnetic field sensing applications in a huge range of scenarios. In this sense, state of the art contributions from academy and industry can be found through the contents. This book can be used by starting researchers, postgraduate students and multidisciplinary scientists in order to have a reference text in this topical fascinating field.. From the Back CoverSince the discovery of the giant magnetoresistance (GMR) effect in 1988, spintronics has been presented as a new technology paradigm, awarded by the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2007. Potential applications at the time of the discovery have become real in the last two decades. Definitively, GMR was born to stand.In this sense
This book covers the theoretical and practical basics of giant magnetoresistance (GMR) sensors, which were initially used in hard disk drives, and which are now finding broader applications in space, automotive design, microelectronics and biotechnology.
"Useful, but was hoping for more" according to Gary Nelson. It is the only book on the subject, but it does not provide enough insight into magnetic 1/f noise for my needs.And it is very expensive
