Abstract

Positive, linear in field, and isotropic magnetoresistance in fields up to 60 T is found in geometrically constrained ferromagnets, such as thin films of iron, nickel, and cobalt and their granular mixtures with nonmagnetic materials. The resistivity measured as a function of temperature shows a minimum at temperatures reaching a remarkably high 92 K, followed by logarithmic dependence at low temperatures. We propose to explain both phenomena by a modified version of the quantum electron-electron interaction theory. The agreement is only qualitative while the observed magnitude of the magnetoresistance slope is much larger than the calculated one.
