Definition of magnetoresistance in English:
magnetoresistance
noun maɡˌniːtəʊrɪˈzɪst(ə)nsmaɡˌnēdərəˈzistəns
mass nounPhysics The dependence of the electrical resistance of a body on an external magnetic field.
Example sentencesExamples
- The discovery of giant magnetoresistance immediately opened the door to a wealth of new scientific and technological possibilities, including a tremendous influence on the technique of data storage and magnetic sensors.
- This expression clearly shows that the magnetoresistance effect arises from the difference between the resistance behaviour of the spin up and down electrons.
- This type of magnetoresistance is called ballistic because the electrons' paths are so short that the particles don't collide with atoms as they zip through the nanocontact.
- Read heads based on giant magnetoresistance further increase the storage capacity of hard disc drives.
- A magnetoresistance effect type head for reproducing includes a lower shielding film and a magnetoresistance effect sensor film between the lower shielding film and the lower magnetic core.

adjective
Physics Thus all the elegant science and engineering of the disk drive - the aerodynamic heads, the magnetoresistive sensors, the ruthenium film - has its ultimate fulfillment in replaying soap operas and old Star Trek episodes.
Example sentencesExamples
- Today, the tunneling magnetoresistive heads have become a mainstream technology for the hard disk industry and will still be a technology of choice for future hard disk products.
- The sensor preferably is either an anisotopic magnetoresistive element or a spin valve element less than 0.6 m wide.
- The use of tunneling magnetoresistive reading heads has helped to maintain a fast growth of areal density, which is one of the key advantages of hard disk drives as compared to solid-state memories.
- Accordingly, the whole region passed by the object in the alignment direction of the magnetoresistive elements is a magnetic sensitive region.
