Magnetoresistance
Presented By: Brian Porterfield,

Group #3
What is Giant Magnetoresistance?
 Revolutionary techniques to take data from hard
disks
 The way to developing and improving new and
current electronics
How does it work?
 Information is stored on magnetized areas
of hard disks and is read by using binary
 Because information is packed so tightly it
is hard to read
Who’s Responsible
 Albert Fert
 Peter Grunberg
Why care about GMR
 Breakthrough for other technologies
 Revolutionize current devices
