The spin valve thin films are characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM) and magnetoresistance ratio measurements. All measurements are performed in room temperature. The inserted 45 mm thickness FeMn layer to the NiCoFe/Cu/NiCoFe system can increase the GMR ratio up to 32.5%. The coercive field to be increased is compared with different FeMn layer thickness. Furthermore, the coercive field (Hc) decreases with increasing FeMn layer thickness. Magnitude of coercive field is 0.1 T, 0.09 T and 0.08 T for FeMn layer thickness is 30 nm, 45 nm and 60 nm, respectively. The FeMn layer is used to lock the magnetization in the ferromagnetic layer through the exchange anisotropy. This paper will describe the development of a GMR spin valve and its magnetic properties. © (2014) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Antiferromagnetics,Exchange anisotropy,Ferromagnetic layers,Giant magnetoresistance (GMR) effects,Giant magnetoresistances (GMR),Magnetoresistance ratio,Spin valve,Vibrating sample magnetometer[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Antiferromagnetic,Giant magnetoresistance (GMR),Spin valve,Spintronics,Sputtering[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.4028/www.scientific.net/AMR.979.85[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
