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

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 2, Spanish, - magnetorresistencia%20gigante
