Abstract:Magnetic multilayers have applications as magnetic field sensors or magnetic memory cells. Mastering the methods of fabrication and characterization of the structures such as spin valve or magnetic tunnel junction is an important step towards more complicated spintronics devices. This work summarizes basic theory of magnetism, magnetotransport properties, and it describes basic applications of magnetic multilayers. The experimental part of this work deals with the sample preparation by ion beam sputtering (IBS), ion beam assisted deposition (IBAD), and characterization of prepared multilayers by measuring anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR), giant magnetoresistance (GMR), or tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR).
