Abstract

Magneto-resistance is the most important characteristic of spintronic magneto-resistive materials. This is usually measured using some form of electrical contact probe testing. In this paper we discuss a simple optical IR experiment that allows the non-contact measurement of the magneto-resistance of spintronic materials and devices. The results have been compared with the electrical GMR curves showing a good agreement. The ability to measure a GMR profile using a non-contact, non-destructive infrared technique has important implications, enabling in-situ sample testing, non-contact profiling of the GMR at wafer level and spatial resolution GMR measurements.
