The study of magnetic resistance on thin single-crystal nickel films

Abstract

In this work the anisotropy of the transverse magnetoresistance of single-crystal nickel films was studied. The measurements were carried out on samples whose surface plane coincided with the [001] plane. Studies of magnetoresistance in a single-crystal nickel film showed the influence of tensile stresses acting on it from the side of magnesium oxide. The modification of the anisotropy of the magnetoconductivity of the film on the substrate as compared with the free sample is apparently associated with a change in the shape of the Fermi surface of the carriers.
