1/ f noise in magnetic Ni80Fe20 single layers and Ni80Fe20/Cu multilayers

We have investigated the room temperature 1/f noise of microstructured soft magnetic Ni80Fe20 films, showing the anisotropic magnetoresistance effect, and of Ni80Fe20/Cu magnetic multilayers, showing the giant magnetoresistance effect. We find that the 1/f noise in magnetic multilayers is considerab...

Summary:We have investigated the room temperature 1/f noise of microstructured soft magnetic Ni80Fe20 films, showing the anisotropic magnetoresistance effect, and of Ni80Fe20/Cu magnetic multilayers, showing the giant magnetoresistance effect. We find that the 1/f noise in magnetic multilayers is considerably enhanced with respect to the noise of the single domain layer, which sets a limit on the usability of giant magnetoresistance materials for low-frequency applications.
