We suggest a new type of magnetic random access memory (MRAM) that is based on the phenomenon of the planar Hall effect (PHE) in magnetic films, and we demonstrate this idea with manganite films. The PHE-MRAM is structurally simpler than currently developed MRAM that is based on magnetoresistance tunnel junctions (MTJ), with the tunnel junction structure being replaced by a single layer film.
In November 1999 we carried out VLBI observations of several quasars and BL Lacertae objects at 1.66 GHz. Six antennas participated in the experiment (Bear Lakes, Svetloe, Pushchino, Noto, HartRAO, and Seshan). The results for six sources (0420+022, 0420-014, 1308+326, 1345+125, 1803+784, and DA193) are presented and discussed.
The transverse resistivity in thin films of La(0.84)Sr(0.16)MnO(3) (LSMO)exhibits sharp field-symmetric jumps below Tc. We show that a likely source of this behavior is the giant planar Hall effect (GPHE) combined with biaxial magnetic anisotropy. The effect is comparable in magnitude to that observed recently in the magnetic semiconductor Ga(Mn)As. It can be potentially used in applications such as magnetic sensors and non-volatile memory devices.
