地磁场对巨磁阻效应的影响与机制探究

Exploration of the influence and mechanism of the Geomagnetic Field on the Giant Magnetoresistance

  • 摘要: 巨磁阻(Giant Magnetoresistance, GMR)效应实验是研究自旋极化载流子输运特性的核心手段,其测量精度直接依赖于对磁阻信号的准确捕获。地磁场(Geomagnetic Field, GMF)作为客观存在的弱磁场环境,其对高灵敏度巨磁阻效应的干扰常被忽视。本文聚焦地磁场与外磁场耦合方向→GMR测量扰动的测试路径,系统探究地磁场在巨磁阻效应实验中的影响效应与机制。实验以AA002-02型号的半桥配置GMR传感器为研究对象,通过改变器件方位以调控地磁场耦合方向,对比有无地磁场作用下的测量数据发现,微弱地磁场可诱发GMR传感器的电阻相对变化率产生扰动,该扰动随GMR传感器工作电压的增大先增强而后趋于缓和达到稳定,在1.0788 mT外磁场作用下最大扰动可达0.143%,且这一扰动随外磁场的增强而变弱。机制拆解揭示这一扰动的核心是地磁场通过微弱改变GMR器件内部铁磁层磁矩相对取向,间接微扰磁性层磁矩方向与载流子自旋方向间的相对夹角,最终干扰磁阻测量结果。基于此,我们提出了“GMR传感器回路方位校准”的核心操作步骤与“背景磁场补偿法”的实验优化策略。本研究厘清了地磁场对于GMR效应干扰的核心机制,为优化GMR效应实验设计、提升弱磁区测量精度提供了理论支撑与实践方案。

     

    Abstract: The experiment on the Giant Magnetoresistance (GMR) effect is a core method for studying the transport properties of spin-polarized carriers, and its measurement accuracy directly depends on the accurate capture of magnetoresistance signals. The geomagnetic field, as an objectively existing weak magnetic field environment, its interference with high-sensitivity GMR effect is often overlooked. This paper focuses on the test path of the coupling direction between the geomagnetic field and the external magnetic field → GMR measurement disturbance, and systematically explores the influence and mechanism of the geomagnetic field in GMR effect experiments. The experiment takes the AA002-02 model of the half-bridge configuration GMR sensor as the research object. By changing the device orientation to control the coupling direction of the geomagnetic field, and comparing the measurement data with and without the action of the geomagnetic field, it is found that the weak geomagnetic field can induce disturbances in the relative resistance change rate of the GMR sensor. This disturbance first strengthens with the increase of the operating voltage of the GMR sensor, and then tends to ease and stabilize. Under the action of an external magnetic field of 1.0788 mT, the maximum disturbance can reach 0.143%, Moreover; this disturbance weakens with the increase of the external magnetic field. Mechanism dissection reveals that the core of this disturbance is that the geomagnetic field slightly changes the relative orientation of the magnetic moments in the ferromagnetic layers inside the GMR device, indirectly perturbing the relative angle between the direction of the magnetic moments in the magnetic layers and the spin direction of the carriers, and ultimately interfering with the magnetoresistance measurement results. Based on this, we propose the core operation steps of "GMR sensor loop orientation calibration" and the experimental optimization strategy of "background magnetic field compensation method". This study clarifies the core mechanism of the geomagnetic field's interference with the GMR effect, and provides theoretical support and practical solutions for optimizing the design of GMR effect experiments and improving the measurement accuracy in the weak magnetic region.
