Abstract

Nanowires, 100 nm in diameter and 6 μm in length, with an oxide barrier intercalated between two ferromagnets, were produced via an electrochemical route. Non ohrnie behavior wa found. The magnetoresistance of Ni/NiO/Co heterostructures abruptly change by more than 7% at the switching field of the ferromagnets.
