Abstract We report ballistic magnetoresistance (BMR) values in magnetic nanocontacts for Ni, Co, and Fe. The samples range from atomic nanocontacts (smaller than 1 nm cross-section) to stable electrodeposited nanocontacts (up to 30 nm cross-section). The experiments are done at room temperature and up to 4 kOe applied field. We obtain values of stable BMR up to 700%. By manipulating the resistance and the contact shape electrochemically in situ we can have any desired value of BMR. We also… CONTINUE READING
