Abstract
The effect of different seed layers on the magnetoresistive (MR) properties of NiFe films has been investigated. Significant improvements can be observed and explained. By choosing seed layers that vary from conducting to insulating and from amorphous to crystalline the role of the NiFe crystalline texture and current shunting via the seed layer on the MR ratio is observed
