When the magnetic orientation of those electrons, also known as their spin, is the same as the magnetic orientation of the wires, the electrons travel effortlessly through the cluster, a phenomenon known as
ballistic magnetoresistance (BMR).
However, the ultra-high

This diagram maps the temperature and magnetic field strength at which the material's

The discovery, reported in tomorrow's issue of Nature, relies on a phenomenon called

Traditional perovskites are typically metal - oxide materials that display a wide range of fascinating electromagnetic properties, including ferroelectricity and piezoelectricity, superconductivity and colossal

Assoc Prof Yang said, «Our experiments showed that our device's tunneling

They are conducting experiments to improve
the magnetoresistance of the device by fine - tuning the level of strain in its magnetic structure, and they are also planning to apply their technique in various other electronic components.
It arose with the discovery of giant

Because of the high magnetic field required to produce
the magnetoresistance effect, Kobayashi says, the material isn't ready to be used in data storage devices.
The larger
the magnetoresistance of a material, the smaller the magnetic signal to which it can respond.
Compared to similar devices based on the Hall effect or

Last year's prize went to Albert Fert and Peter Grünberg for their discovery in the late 1980s of giant

The change in electrical resistance through a magnetic field is called

«There's this old empirical statement that if you make a metal cleaner and cleaner and cleaner, it results in larger and larger
magnetoresistance,» said Paul Canfield, a senior scientist at Ames Laboratory and a Distinguished Professor and the Robert Allen Wright Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Iowa State University.
«As a process of elimination, this work becomes a guide for future research,» said Na Hyun Jo, a graduate assistant and co-author of the published research «Kohler's Rule explains the data, but it doesn't tell us why
the magnetoresistance is so huge.
In particular, they measured a ten times larger

Researchers in condensed matter physics at Ames Laboratory had recently discovered an extremely large

Physicists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory compared similar materials and returned to a long - established rule of electron movement in their quest to explain the phenomenon of extremely large

Using the phase diagrams as a clue, scientists may be able to identify other materials with extreme
