    摘要: According to the invention, a magnetoresistive element has a first ferromagnetic layer element (11), a non-magnetic layer element (13) and a second ferromagnetic layer element (12) disposed in such a way that the non-magnetic layer element (13) is disposed between the first ferromagnetic layer element and the second ferromagnetic layer element (12). The first ferromagnetic layer element (11) and the second ferromagnetic layer element (12) are substantially made of the same material. They differ, however, in terms of their cross section parallel to the interface with the non-magnetic layer element (13) in that at least one of their dimensions has different sizes. The magnetoresistive element is particularly suitable both as sensor element and as storage element in a storage cell array.

    摘要: A magnetoelectric device responsive to an applied magnetic field, e.g. for use as a reading head for data stored in magnetic storage media, comprises first and second ferromagnetic regions (3, 4) with a channel region (5) between them, the ferromagnetic regions being configured so that charge carriers with a particular spin polarisation which can pass through the first region, pass through the second region as a function of the relative orientations of magnetisation of the ferromagnetic regions produced by the applied magnetic field such that the device exhibits a conductivity as a function of the strength of the applied field. The channel region (5) includes a nanotube (6) which may be formed of carbon, configured to provide a quasi-one-dimensional channel to cause charge carriers which pass through the first ferromagnetic region to maintain their spin polarisation as they pass towards the second ferromagnetic region. In an alternative embodiment a deposited carbon layer (14) is used in the channel region.
