Tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) and magnetic properties of (Co/sub 50/Fe/sub 50/)/sub x/-(Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/)/sub 1-x/ granular films prepared by dual electron beam evaporation were studied. The influence of the particle size distribution (PSD) on magneto-transport properties is reported. It was fo...
