MnNi-based spin valve sensors combining high thermal stability, small footprint and pTesla detectivities

Magnetoresistive sensors with high thermal robustness, low noise and high spatial resolution are the answer to a number of challenging applications. Spin valve sensors including MnNi as antiferromagnet layer provide higher exchange bias field and improved thermal stability. In this work, the influen...
