Abstract
We present novel low-field magnetoresistive devices based on the ferromagnetic manganite La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 operating in the current in plane (CIP) configuration. In these planar spin-valve devices, a focused Ga+ beam is used to create pinning centers for magnetic domain walls. The spin-dependent scattering of polarized electrons at the domain walls (DW) is responsible for the magnetoresistance observed in the patterned tracks. The magneto-transport properties of these devices are interpreted within a model for DW magnetoresistance. Applications such as magnetic data storage can be envisaged for the structures we investigated. © 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
