00 Hardcover QC610 In the opening paper of this collection, researchers at the Russian Academy of Sciences investigate the microwave properties of magnetic metallic nanostructures with the giant magnetoresistive effect and outline a comparison with the DC magnetoresistive effect.
He briefly covers how read/write circuitry has gotten more sensitive in the move from thin-film heads to Magnetoresistive (MR) heads and the even more rapid adoption of Giant Magnetoresistive (GMR) heads, but most of the article is about laboratory experiments, all of which have been reported on in CTR.
Both families contain the giant magnetoresistive head technology unveiled by IBM in late 1997.
