Abstract

Magnetic field sensors, based on giant magnetoresistance (GMR) effect, have a wide range of practical implementations. One of them is the use as a positioning device in different kind of actuators. Here we report on modelling of magnetoresistivity response of spin-valve (SV) based GMR structure in a various geometry of SV positioning with respect to a magnetic reference label. The model includes the magnetic label of a certain shape producing a nonhomogeneous magnetic field in 3D space and moving along a straight line in front of SV device. Different mutual label-SV positioning is considered. The reaction of micromagnetic configuration in the ferromagnetic layers and corresponding magnetoresistive effect of the SV is calculated and analyzed.
