The properties of the archetypal Co/Cu giant magnetoresistance (GMR) spin-valve structure have been modified by the insertion of very thin (sub-monolayer) $delta$-layers of various elements at different points within the Co layers, and at the Co/Cu interface. Different effects are observed depending on the nature of the impurity, its position within the periodic table, and its location within the spin-valve. The GMR can be strongly enhanced or suppressed for various specific combinations of these parameters, giving insight into the microscopic mechanisms giving rise to the GMR.

The effects of inserting impurity $delta$-layers of various elements into a Co/IrMn exchange biased bilayer, at both the interface, and at given points within the IrMn layer a distance from the interface, has been investigated. Depending on the chemi cal species of dopant, and its position, we found that the exchange biasing can be either strongly enhanced or suppressed. We show that biasing is enhanced with a dusting of certain magnetic impurities, present at either at the interface or sufficiently far away from the Co/IrMn interface. This illustrates that the final spin structure at the Co/IrMn interface is not only governed by interface structure/roughness but is also mediated by local exchange or anisotropy variations within the bulk of the IrMn.

An analytical study of the low-field magnetoresistance of a two-dimensional electron gas subject to a weak periodic modulation is presented. We assume small-angle impurity scattering characteristic for high-mobility semiconductor heterostructures. It is shown that the condition for existence of the strong low-field magnetoresistance induced by so-called channeled orbits is $eta^{3/2}qlgg 1$, where $eta$ and $q$ are the strength and the wave vector of the modulation, and $l$ is the transport mean free path. Under this condition, the magnetoresistance scales as $eta^{7/2}$.
We use numerically unbiased methods to show that the one-dimensional Hubbard model with periodically distributed on-site interactions already contains the minimal ingredients to display the phenomenon of magnetoresistance; i.e., by applying an extern al magnetic field, a dramatic enhancement on the charge transport is achieved. We reach this conclusion based on the computation of the Drude weight and of the single-particle density of states, applying twisted boundary condition averaging to reduce finite-size effects. The known picture that describes the giant magnetoresistance, by interpreting the scattering amplitudes of parallel or antiparallel polarized currents with local magnetizations, is obtained without having to resort to different entities; itinerant and localized charges are indistinguishable.
A quasiclassical theory of giant magnetoresistance in nanoscale point contacts between different ferromagnetic metals is developed. The contacts were sorted by three types of mutual positions of the conduction spin-subband bottoms which are shifted o ne against another by the exchange interaction. A model of linear domain wall has been used to account for the finite contact length. The magnetoresistance is plotted against the size of the nanocontact. In heterocontacts the magnetoresistance effect turned out to be not only negative, as usual, but can be positive as well. Relevance of the results to existing experiments on GMR in point heterocontacts is discussed.
A giant thermal magnetoresistance is predicted for the electromagnetic transport of heat in magneto-optical plasmonic structures. In chains of InSb-Ag nanoparticles at room temperature, we found that the resistance can be increased by almost a factor of 2 with magnetic fields of 2 T. We show that this important change results from the strong spectral dependence of localized surface waves on the magnitude of the magnetic field.
