Magnetoresistance (MR) is the variation of a material's resistivity under the presence of
external magnetic fields. Reading heads in hard disk drives (HDDs) are the most common …

The combination of magnetoresistive (MR) element and magnetic flux concentrators (MFCs)
offers highly sensitive magnetic field sensors. To maximize the effect of MFC, the …

On the basis of the ab-initio spin-polarized calculations, this work has explored for the first
time the electronic and magnetic properties of the zinc-blende of Zirconium carbide (ZrC) …

In this study, we analysed Fe/Cr multilayers that had been modified by Bi, In, and Pb
surfactants. Their structure, morphology and interface roughness were investigated using …

We present a detailed theoretical analysis of the magnetoresistance (MR) of Co/Cu
magnetic metallic multilayers (MLs) and spin-valves (SVs) with spacer layer thickness …

Electrodeposited Ni65Co35/Cu multilayers were prepared with Cu spacer layer thicknesses
between 0.5 nm and 7 nm. Their structure and magnetic and magnetoresistance properties …

Of the 20 or more magnetic effects that have been used for measurement of magnetic fields,
sensors based on the Faraday and Josephson effects have proven to be the best for …

The effectiveness of miniaturized piezoelectric/magnetostrictive magnetometers, that
operate as contour-mode resonators and exploit the ΔE effect for DC magnetic field …

Magnetoelectric (ME) sensors have received considerable research and application
attention as new generation passive magnetic field strength (MFS)-type magnetic sensors …

Within the context of this thesis, advancements in sensor technology are driven in three
separate applications. In each application electrochemistry is used as one of the primary …
