The giant magnetoresistance effect is a quantum phenomenon in what type of materials?
Insulators
Superconductors
Semiconductors
Magnetic thin films
Answer
The giant magnetoresistance (GMR) effect is a phenomenon exhibited in magnetic thin films, where the electrical resistance of the material changes significantly in the presence of a magnetic field. This effect arises from the spin-dependent scattering of conduction electrons at the interfaces between ferromagnetic and non-magnetic layers within the thin film.
