magnetoresistance |
Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia | 0.06 sec. |
|
A change in electrical resistance in metal or a semiconductor when it is subjected to a magnetic field. The property of magnetoresistance is used in reading the bits on magnetic tape and disk. Although used in earlier analog tape recorders, in 1991, IBM was the first to use a magnetoresistive (MR) read head in a computer disk drive.

By contrast, the improvements described in back-to-back reports in the December Nature Materials boost the components' magnetoresistance to more than 200 percent. This Frost & Sullivan research service titled Magnetic Sensors-Emerging Technology provides analyses of hall sensors, fluxgate, search coil, anisotropic/giant/colossal magnetoresistance sensors, giant magetoimpedance, and SQUID among others, along with key drivers, challenges, restraints, analysis and forecasts of technologies that shape the future semiconductor testing industry. |
