Abstract
This paper describes recent developments in magnetoresistive materials and their applications. Also, it will focus on a few magnetoresistive materials and applications that are under active development. Two applications are chosen, in part, due to their connection to nano-scale structures. These are 1) magnetoresistive isolators whose speed will be enhanced by nano-crystalline ferromagnetic layers, and 2) detection and manipulation of nano-magnetic particles using magnetoresistive sensors and integrated straps.
