Influence of a metallic substrate’s magnetic state on the huge magnetoresistance of a ferromagnet-polymer structure
The association between the threshold value of conductance switching in an external magnetic field and the initial magnetic state of a ferromagnetic plate substrate is shown for a ferromagnet/polymer/nonmagnetic metal system. The threshold magnetic field change is explained by appearance of residual magnetization after being held in an external magnetic field and, correspondingly, by the change in the initial state upon further remagnetization.
