Anisotropic Magnetoresistance Effects in Fe, Co, Ni, Fe_4N, and Half-Metallic Ferromagnet: A Systematic Analysis

Satoshi Kokado, Masakiyo Tsunoda, Kikuo Harigaya +1

We theoretically analyze the anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) effects of bcc Fe (+), fcc Co (+), fcc Ni (+), Fe${}_4$N (-), and a half-metallic ferromagnet (-). The sign in each (…
