Abstract

This paper reports ballistic magnetoresistance (BMR) measurements in Ni nanocontacts made by electrodeposition. BMR in excess of 3000% is observed at room temperature and the observed large values of BMR are obtained in switching fields of only a few hundred oersteds. The results are attributed to spin-dependent electron transport across nanometer sharp domain walls within the nanocontacts.
