Abstract
The dependence of the giant magnetoresistance (GMR) of a metallic granular system on the concentration of magnetic particles is studied numerically. The effect of particle coalescence and dipolar interactions between the particles on the value of optimum GMR and the shape of the concentration dependence curve are discussed. The micromagnetic configuration of the system is obtained by a Monte Carlo algorithm that involves short-range effective exchange couplings and long range dipolar interactions. The conductivity is obtained using Kubo’s formula for a tight binding Hamiltonian. A comparison of our results to experiments on metallic granular films is made.
