摘要
granular magnetic Co_(x)Cu_(1-x)(x=0.05-0.5)alloy ribbons were prepared by melt spinning method,and the structural,magnetotransport,magnetic properties and the effects of annealing on these properties were studied by x-ray diffraction,vibrating sample magnetometer,magnetoresistance measurement at room temperature.Giant magnetoresistance was observed over a broad range of Co concentrations with a maximum magnetoresistance(MR)ratio of 7.8%(at x=0.20 and 500℃ annealing)under a magnetic field of 20kOe.The MR ratio increases with the annealing temperature and reaches a maximum at about 500℃ and then drops.The dependence of MR and magnetization on magnetic field for various granule parameters were studied by controlling the nucleation and growth of Co granules.
