Title: Magnetoresistance of Au films

Abstract

Measurement of the magnetoresistance (MR) of Au films as a function of temperature and film thickness reveals a strong dependence on grain size distribution and clear violation of the Kohler s rule. Using a model of random resistor network, we show that this result can be explained if the MR arises entirely from inhomogeneity due to grain boundary scattering and thermal activation of grain boundary atoms.

Magnetoresistance of Au films

Journal Article Zhang, D. L., E-mail: zhangdl@iphy.ac.cn ; Song, X. H. ; Zhang, X. ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

Classical magnetoresistance (MR) in nonmagnetic metals are conventionally understood in terms of the Kohler rule, with violation usually viewed as anomalous electron transport, in particular, as evidence of non-Fermi liquid behavior. Measurement of the MR of Au films as a function of temperature and film thickness reveals a strong dependence on grain size distribution and clear violation of the Kohler rule. Using a model of random resistor network, we show that this result can be explained if the MR arises entirely from inhomogeneity due to grain boundary scattering and thermal activation of grain boundary atoms.

Extended Kohler’s Rule of Magnetoresistance

Journal Article Xu, Jing ; Han, Fei ; Wang, Ting-Ting ; ... - Physical Review. X

A notable phenomenon in topological semimetals is the violation of Kohler’s rule, which dictates that the magnetoresistance MR obeys a scaling behavior of MR = f(H/ρ₀), where MR = [ρ(H)–ρ₀]/ρ₀ and H is the magnetic field, with ρ(H) and ρ₀ being the resistivity at H and zero field, respectively. Here, we report a violation originating from thermally induced change in the carrier density. We find that the magnetoresistance of the Weyl semimetal TaP follows an extended Kohler’s rule MR=f[H/(n_Tρ0)], with n_T describing the temperature dependence of the carrier density. We show that n_T is associated with the Fermi level andmore »« less

Magnetoresistance of polycrystalline Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4} films prepared by reactive sputtering at room temperature

Journal Article Park, Chando ; Yingguo, Peng ; Jiangang, Zhu ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

The magnetic, structural, and transport properties of single-layer magnetite (Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4}) films prepared by reactive sputtering were investigated. Magnetoresistance (MR) was measured at various thicknesses and temperatures. The increase in MR with thickness is related to grain crystallinity and size, as confirmed by transmission electron microscopy. MR arises from intergranular tunneling, which is supported by the temperature dependence of resistivity (log {rho}{approx}T{sup -1/2}). Field-dependent MR correlates with the M curve. Magnetoresistance versus magnetization curves clearly show that the MR effects come from the surface spin arrangement near the grain boundaries. The dependence of MR on the magnetic field observedmore »« less

Microstructure and magnetoresistance of sputtered bismuth thin films upon annealing

Journal Article Chang, Joonyeon ; Kim, Hijung ; Han, Junhyun ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

We investigated the microstructure and magnetotransport properties of sputtered Bi upon annealing. The grain size and the orientation of polycrystalline Bi thin films can be manipulated through a proper annealing treatment. Weak-oriented fine grains, of which size is about 0.1 {mu}m, were found in as-sputtered Bi films. Careful annealing at 270 deg. C results not only in a grain growth of up to 1.1 {mu}m but also in a [001]-preferred orientation structure. The grain size increases exponentially with annealing time in the temperature range of 266-270 deg. C. The grain-growth exponent (n) and the activation energy (Q) were evaluated tomore »« less

Electrical properties of DuPont Birox and Cermalloy thick film resistors. I

Technical Report Seager, C H ; Pike, G E

Results of the initial survey phase of a Sandia thick film resistor study program are summarized. Later reports will concentrate heavily on the results of ongoing research into the fundamental thick film conduction mechanisms. The preparation and initial measurements on a large variety of DuPont and Cermalloy resistors are described. Three problem areas are seen to arise immediately from an analysis of this initial data: (1) large fluctuations in resistor value from substrate to substrate, (2) departure of low and high aspect ratio resistors from the values expected on a constant ohms-per-square basis, and (3) non-uniformities in resistor conductance nearmore »« less
