| Research Abstract |
Three kinds of spin valve type magnetic sensors using giant magnetoresistance effect were developed. In case of the sensor with magnetization direction modulating method, the direction of a free layer was oscillatory modulated by ac magnetic field Hac produced by a current flowing through an Al conductor. Low noise output was obtained by multiplying the GMR signal and Hac signal using a multiplier IC. The sensitivity of the sensor was about 4 mOe. In case of the sensor with wall position modulating method, magnetic walls were pinned by forming notches along the line shape of the GMR element. In case of GMR strain sensor, the variation of amplitude of oscillatory modulation of the free layer by applying ac magnetic field can be detected through the variation of magnetic anisotropy of the free layer due to magneto-strictive effect. The linear output with the strain was obtained in strain range of 5x10-4.
