Other topics of the seven papers are spin transfer torques in magnetic tunnel junctions, magnetoresistance and phase separation in cobalt oxides, the influence of single ion anisotropy, a remote sensor of GMR with spatial resolution, and GMR-based electrical current sensors.
Giant magnetoresistance has led to a 30-fold increase in hard disk-data densities since then.
Albert Fert of Université Paris-Sud, Orsay, and Peter Grünberg of the Jülich Research Centre in Rhineland will share the 10m Swedish kronor (£755,720) prize for their discovery of giant magnetoresistance (GMR), a quantum mechanical effect that allows huge amounts of data to be pushed into ever-smaller spaces.
