Abstract

We report a correlation between peaks observed in the resistance versus applied magnetic field and low frequency resistance noise for Ni81Fe19/Ag giant magnetoresistance systems with dc bias current density above 106 A/cm2. The magnetic noise has a 1/f -like spectrum and arises from time-dependent magnetic orientational fluctuations within the multilayer. The noise amplitude is strongly correlated with the observed magnetoresistance peaks. The data and a simple model for the fluctuations demonstrate the important role of fluctuations in determining magnetoresistance in such multilayer systems.
