چکیده
Magnetic sensors based on tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) effect exhibit high sensitivity, small size, and low power consumption. They have gained a lot of attention potential applications in various domains. This study first introduces the development history basic principles TMR sensors. Then, comprehensive description linearization Wheatstone bridge configuration is presented. Two key performance parameters, field sensitivity noise mechanisms, are considered. Finally, emerging discussed.

Theory of Tunneling Magnetoresistance
Rigorous theory of the tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) based on the real-space Kubo formula and fully realistic tight-binding bands fitted to an ab initio band structure is described. It is first applied to calculate the TMR of two Co electrodes separated by a vacuum gap. The calculated TMR ratio reaches 65% in the tunneling regime but can be as high as 280% in the metallic regime when the va...
متن کاملMesoscopic tunneling magnetoresistance
We study spin-dependent transport through ferromagnet/normal-metal/ferromagnet double tunnel junctions in the mesoscopic Coulomb-blockade regime. We calculate the conductance in the absence or presence of spin-orbit interaction and for arbitrary orientation of the lead magnetizations. The tunneling magnetoresistance ~TMR!, defined at the Coulomb-blockade conductance peaks, is calculated and its...
متن کاملResonant inversion of tunneling magnetoresistance.
Resonant tunneling via localized states in the barrier can invert magnetoresistance in magnetic tunnel junctions. Experiments performed on electrodeposited Ni/NiO/Co nanojunctions of area smaller than 0.01 microm(2) show that both positive and negative values of magnetoresistance are possible. Calculations based on Landauer-Büttiker theory explain this behavior in terms of disorder-driven stati...
متن کاملAnisotropic tunneling magnetoresistance and tunneling anisotropic magnetoresistance: Spin-orbit coupling in magnetic tunnel junctions
The effects of the spin-orbit coupling SOC on the tunneling magnetoresistance of ferromagnet/ semiconductor/normal-metal tunnel junctions are investigated. Analytical expressions for the tunneling anisotropic magnetoresistance TAMR are derived within an approximation in which the dependence of the magnetoresistance on the magnetization orientation in the ferromagnet originates from the interfer...
متن کاملAnisotropic- Magnetoresistance Integrated Sensors
In this paper. a short overview is presented of the most widely used types of solid state magnetic sensor. These sensors are applied in many areas, such as the measurement of magnetic fields and in compasses, angle/position sensors and current sensing. Hall effect, AMR (Anisotropic Magnetorestance-effect) and GMR (Giant Magnetoresistance-effect) sensors are the most frequently used. In spite of...
