Giant magnetoresistance in actinide systems

Description/Abstract

In contrast to ferromagnetic uranium intermetallics, which exhibit large drop below the ordering temperature, the resistivities of uranium antiferromagnets stay at much larger values below T{sub N}. In this contribution, the authors demonstrate that a large portion of the residual resistance of uranium antiferromagnets can be removed by driving the compounds through metamagnetic transition to a field-aligned state. The consequence is the field-induced drop of resistance, which can exceed {Delta}{rho}/{rho}(0T) = 90%.
