Magnetoresistance
Introduction Magnetoresistance is the property of a material to change its electrical resistance in response to an applied magnetic field. This quantum mechanical phenomenon has profound applications in modern electronics and computing. Basic Explanation When a magnetic field is applied to a conductive material, the trajectories of the charge carriers (electrons or holes) can be…

Chapter 10: Resistance and Resistivity
10.1 Introduction to Resistance Resistance is a property of a material that opposes the flow of electric current. It is a measure of how difficult it is for current to pass through a conductor. In this chapter, we will explore the concept of resistance and its relationship to current, voltage, and the physical properties of…
