Non-equilibrium magnetism in dual spin valves
A. Aziz, O. P. Wessely, M. Ali +4
The field of spin electronics (spintronics) was initiated by the discovery of giant magnetoresistance (GMR) for which Fert[1] and Grunberg[2] were awarded the 2007 Nobel Prize for…

Investigation of artificial domains realised by local gallium focused ion beam (FIB) modification of Pt/Co/Pt trilayer structures
A. Aziz, S. J. Bending, H. Robert +3
We present the results of experimental investigations of magnetic switching and magnetotransport in a new generation of magnetic devices containing artificially patterned domains.…

Nb/CuNi Sandwiches as Superconducting Spin-Valve Core Structures
A. Potenza, C. H. Marrows
We have investigated CuNi/Nb/CuNi trilayers, as have been recently used as the core structure of a spin-valve like device [J. Y. Gu et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 89, 267001 (2002)] to s…
