Abstract

Studies of the evolution of electrical resistance in an external applied magnetic field, B, as well as with temperature, T, on Cu86Co14 and Cu92Co8 as quenched and annealed melt-spun ribbons, reveal that magnetoresistance, MR, ΔR(B,T)=R(B)-R(0) scales with B/T. Furthermore, it found that annealing up to 600 °C scales the magnetic moment of the Co-rich superparamagnetic nanoparticles such that, the data for the field dependence of the MR obtained at various temperatures collapses onto the same unique and universal curve f(mB/T) with the Langevin variable mB/T governing the overall behaviour.
