Some Heusler alloys ... are known to possess half metallic [property] substances that act as conductors to electrons of only one spin orientation when their atoms are in an orderly arrangement. In previous research, a high-quality GMR device was fabricated using half-metallic Heusler alloys. This device was reported to exhibit an extremely large magnetoresistance ratio, a characteristic vital to the development of hard disk [drives].  3, record 1, English, - giant%20magnetoresistive%20device

A magnetoresistance device is proposed in [both a] magnetically and electrically modulated two-dimensional electron gas, which can be realized experimentally by the deposition, on the top and bottom of a semiconductor heterostructure, of two parallel metallic ferromagnetic strips under an applied voltage. It is shown that a considerable magnetoresistance effect can be achieved in such a device due to the significant transmission difference for electrons through parallel and antiparallel magnetization configurations.  1, record 2, English, - magnetoresistance%20device

Tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) is a magnetoresistive effect that occurs in a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ), which is a component consisting of two ferromagnets separated by a thin insulator. If the insulating layer is thin enough (typically a few nanometres), electrons can tunnel from one ferromagnet into the other.  7, record 4, English, - tunneling%20magnetoresistance

La magnétorésistance tunnel [...] utilise la différence de densité d'état électronique en fonction du spin pour les matériaux ferromagnétiques. On considère que lors d'une transition tunnel, l'électron qui a traversé la barrière tunnel ne change pas de spin. Pour obtenir une [magnétorésistance tunnel], on réalise un empilement de deux couches ferromagnétiques séparées cette fois par une couche très mince (de l'ordre de nanomètre) d'isolant, jouant le rôle de barrière tunnel pour les électrons.  3, record 4, French, - magn%C3%A9tor%C3%A9sistance%20tunnel

El efecto de la magnetorresistencia gigante se descubrió en 1988 y su importancia se puso de manifiesto rápidamente, pues a mediados de los '90 las cabezas lectoras de IBM ya se basaban en ello. En esencia, este efecto permite que puedas leer la información magnética almacenada en el disco o soporte magnético con mayor precisión y sensibilidad, con lo cual se pueden fabricar unidades magnéticas más pequeñas, y por tanto posibilita aumentar la densidad de grabación.  1, record 5, Spanish, - magnetorresistencia%20gigante
