Temperature dependence of positive and negative magnetoresistances of tantalum-covered multiwalled carbon nanotubes

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have garnered significant attention due to their remarkable electronic and magnetic properties. In this research, we introduced multiwalled carbon nanotubes covered with tantalum (MWNTs/Ta) to systematically modulate the magnetoresistive properties of the MWNTs/Ta hybrid nanostructures. We observed distinct changes in both positive and negative magnetoresistances of MWNTs/Ta across a broad temperature range using a physical property measurement system and a four-terminal method. This study on temperature-dependent magnetoresistive behavior of the MWNTs/Ta sheds light on the fundamental properties of carbon-based materials and holds promise for practical applications in the field of spintronic devices.
