Pseudo spin valves (PSV) having the multilayer structure of Ta (20 nm) / CoFe (10 nm) / Cu (3 nm) / CoFe (1 nm) / NiFe (15 nm) / Ta (10 nm) were microfabricated in order to be used in magnetic field sensing application. The PSV structures were patterned into rectangular stripes having 1000 μm in length and the width ranging from 0.5 μm to 200 μm. The influence of the pseudo spin valve stripe width on the switching fields, the magnetoresistive ratio and on the magnetic field sensitivity has been studied. In addition, the effect of the applied magnetic field direction relative to the PSV stripe long axis has been discussed. It was shown that both the stripe width and the applied field direction are strongly affecting the magnetoresistive characteristics..

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
