As our former investigations show, we can receive nanowires with substrate-like composition in the case of InP. In the case of GaAs substrate the situation is entirely different, while the growth technology in both cases was the same. The difference between the nanoproducts in the cases of different substrates originate in the reactivity of the components, which is explained in the following considerations. Furthermore we have observed that the diameter of the nanowires depends on the electron energy of the irradiation. If the electron beam was 5 kV and 20 kV, the diameter lasting increases and decreases, respectively. This effect can be explained by the change of the nanowires structure influenced by the electron beam.","PeriodicalId":306699,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Conference on Advanced Semiconductor Devices and Microsystems","volume":"152 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130277808","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

If the sense layer of SV (spin valve) is substituted by magnetostrictive material, the magnetoresistance structure is influenced by the applied tensile or compressive stress through the magnetization orientation in magnetostrictive material. Using such effect, the sensor of mechanical quantities can be constructed. For SV applications as a mechanical sensor more flexible substrate is needed. In this paper is studied role of SV spacer thickness on magnetoresistance characteristics under mechanical load. The magnetoresistance was measured in Co-Au-Co core structure with spacer thickness in range of 2.2 - 4 nm deposited on plastic substrate. Magnetoresistance dependency vs. applied strain was measured in bending configuration. Various types of characteristics were observed in dependence of spacer thickness. These properties are studied in connection with oscillatory character of antiferromagnetic exchange coupling forces which was in good correlation with our experimental results.","PeriodicalId":306699,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Conference on Advanced Semiconductor Devices and Microsystems","volume":"479 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133604936","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
