Abstract
In this chapter, magnetotransport phenomena in ferromagnetic materials and heterostructures are discussed. The survey starts with the definition of the electrical resistivity and a discussion of magnetoresistance in normal metals, semiconductors, and semimetals. This is followed by a description of magnetoresistance processes in ferromagnets: from anisotropic magnetoresistance and critical scattering in bulk ferromagnets to giant magnetoresistance in magnetic multilayers, colossal magnetoresistance in manganites, tunneling magnetoresistance in trilayers with insulating barrier, and to powder and organic magnetoresistance. The two-current model features prominently in the analysis of the majority of these effects. Sections on quantum transport and exotic tunneling phenomena follow. Then transverse electric phenomena are presented: the discussion of the normal and anomalous Hall effect leads to the introduction of spin currents and the spin Hall effects. The chapter concludes with a brief section on magnetoimpedance and an explanation of measurement techniques.
