Magnetic, Sensor, Geometrical, Extraordinary, MagnetoresistanceAbstract
Magnetic sensing devices are of the extremely significant kind of detectors, that are used several important and useful applications. Geometrical extraordinary magnetoresistance (EMR) is the geometrical kind of magnetoresistance associated with the non-magnetic semiconductor-metal hybrid structure and influenced by geometrical shape. As a result of Lorentz force, the current path change from metal (in absence of magnetic field) to semiconductor (under the subjection of the magnetic field) in semiconductor-metal hybrid structure is the key of EMR phenomena, i.e. once the metal is placed in a semiconductor, it works as a short circuit with the majority of applied current moving through metallic inhomogeneity and the almost whole resistance of semiconductor-metal hybrid structure drops to value smaller than that of homogeneous semiconductor in absence of magnetic field, in other hands, applying of magnetic field alters the current route to be around the metallic inhomogeneity where it works as an open circuit and the whole resistance turns into a quite high magnitude relies on the geometrical form of a device. The variables govern these phenomena are metal and semiconductor conductivity, semiconductor charge carriers mobility, and device geometry. Within this review, EMR phenomena history, variables governed it, materials, and applications of EMR devices are overviewed.
