Room-temperature magnetoresistance switching of Py thin films induced by Fe-nanoparticles grown by STM-assisted CVD

Jens Mueller, Steffen Wirth, Stephan von Molnar

Arrays of Fe-nanoparticles grown by STM-assited CVD have been placed on top of a narrow stripe of Py. The magnetic coupling between the nanoparticles and the underlying Py film res…
