Abstract

This paper presents Designing and Modeling of Giant Magnetoresistance (GMR) Devices in Electrical Power and Biomedical Systems and the related materials. The GMR, inverse GMR, and Spin valve using exchange bias have been analytically derived and discussed from the designing point of view for optimizing the performance of the GMR based Devices in Electrical systems. More recently, GMR has been used in sensors, magnetic memory chips, and hard-disk read-heads. The usage of this in biomedical applications, such as biosensors, is another significant feature. In biomedicine, GMR biosensors have enormous potential, especially for wearable health monitoring devices and illness diagnostics. From a research perspective, it has been noted how useful the ideal film thickness and annealing temperature are in the appropriately selected multilayers for the creation of GMR-based devices. Researchers and designers working in this quickly developing subject might find the study helpful. This study also examines the modeling tools and simulation methods used in the design of GMR devices, emphasizing the significance of precision engineering in obtaining the required magnetic characteristics. It has also been addressed how GMR elements can be integrated with microelectronic systems to increase sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratios in real-world applications. All things considered, the study provides insightful information on recent developments and potential future directions.

Keywords: Giant magneto resistance (GMR) devices for electrical systems, Magnetic random access memory (MRAM), Inverse GMR, and Spin valve
