| This type of magnetoresistance is called ballistic because the electrons' paths are so short that the particles don't collide with atoms as they zip through the nanocontact. |
| The present generation of computer hard-disk drives uses a read-head based on giant magnetoresistance thin films. |
| Read heads based on giant magnetoresistance further increase the storage capacity of hard disc drives. |
| This expression clearly shows that the magnetoresistance effect arises from the difference between the resistance behaviour of the spin up and down electrons. |
| The last Nobel Prize for Physics was awarded to a Franco-German duo for their work on giant magnetoresistance. |
| Grünberg expanded on this principle by placing a layer of nonmagnetic metal between layers of magnetized metal to create an effect that Fert termed giant magnetoresistance. |
