Abstract
A negative magnetoresistive effect has been observed for ferromagnet/superconductor/ferromagnet (FSF) microbridges based on diluted ferromagnetic PdFe alloy containing as small as 1% of magnetic atoms. The effect is represented by sharp negative peaks in magnetoresistance at magnetic fields opposite in sign to the initial saturated magnetizations. Microstructuring of the FSF trilayers does not suppress the effect: the most pronounced dips were obtained for the smallest bridges 6–8 µm wide and 10–15 µm long. The negative magnetoresistance peak was observed at temperatures within the superconducting transition and reaches a noticeable value of up to 1.3% of the normal state resistance.
