Resumo |
The authors have measured longitudinal and transverse magnetoresistance (MR) of crystalline pseudo-binary alloys FexNi80-xCr20 (50<or=x<or=66) and the binary alloy Fe25Cr75. Both the alloy systems have complex magnetic phases because the alloys have compositions close to the critical composition regime for ferromagnetism. While the Fe-Ni-Cr alloys have a FCC gamma -phase, the binary Fe-Cr alloy has a BCC alpha -phase. This gives an opportunity to compare magnetoresistances for gamma -phase and alpha -phase Fe alloys when they lie close to the critical composition. The experiments were conducted at 4.2 K with magnetic fields up to 7 T. The authors observed that all the alloys show negative magnetoresistance at 4.2 K in fields up to 7 T. However, for the gamma -phase alloys the typical maximum MR ( Delta rho / rho ) is about 1%, while for the alpha -phase alloy it is 10%. In the gamma -phase alloys there is a small but finite anisotropy of MR in the phases with long-range magnetic order which gradually vanishes near the critical region (x=xc approximately=59-63) when it becomes a spin glass. In the range x approximately=xc, Delta rho / rho varies as Mn (M=magnetization) with n approximately=2. |
