Abstract

Recent studies show the possibility of using amorphous materials as current sensors. In this paper, the magnetoresistance effect existing in multilayer (Co₅₀Ni₂₅)₁₀ structures has been used to develop a current sensor susceptible to be fully integrated. Experimental results have been obtained to compare the properties of the anisotropic magnetoresistance effect (AMR) with commercial ones
