Abstract

Recent years have seen a rapid development of spintronics. One of the major achievements of this field is the understanding of spin dependent process in various physical systems, for example, metallic multilayers showing the giant magnetoresistance (GMR). Today devices based on the GMR are revolutionizing electronic data storage. In this paper, we review recent developments in the research on GMR of low dimensional structures. We describe the magnetoresistance properties of magnetic multilayers, multilayered nanowires and nonopillars, etc.

저차원 구조체에서 스핀의존산란에 의한 거대자기저항의 주요 연구들을 정리하였다. 본 논문에서는 다층박막, 나노선, 그리고 나노필러 등의 저차원 구조체에서 효율적인 자기저항의 제어에 대한 연구결과들을 양자역학적 차원에서 되 집어 보고 앞으로 스핀트로닉스 분야의 연구가 나갈 방향에 대해 논의하고자 한다.
