We investigate the magnetoresistance (MR) responses in a ferromagnetic rectangular ring structure using a four-point probe technique. The measured MR curves are strongly dependent on the electrical contact geometries used. The associated MR characteristics are elucidated by a combination of...

An analytical approach is presented for the study of magnetization dynamics driven by spin-polarized currents. Two cases are considered: (i) magnetic layers with in-plane uniaxial anisotropy; (ii) magnetic layers with uniaxial anisotropy and applied field perpendicular to the layer plane....

The tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) of a small magnetic dot array with perpendicular anisotropy, is studied by using a resistor network model. Because of the competition between dipolar interaction and perpendicular anisotropy, the TMR ratio can be up to a maximum value (~26%) as predicted by...

Based on Monte Carlo simulation, the spin configurations, thermal magnetization and hysteresis loops of the clusters coated by the surface shell with radial anisotropy are studied. Interestingly, a new multidomain containing a few of subdomains whose easy directions are along those of the...
