Abstract
Control of electrical conductivity is provided via electrically conductive magnetic domain walls between magnetic domains. The magnetic domains are identical except for their magnetic configuration. Altering a configuration of the magnetic domains (e.g., by thermal treatment, application of a magnetic field, etc.) can alter the electrical resistance of a device. Such devices can be used as non-volatile information storage devices or as sensors.
