Abstract
An embodiment relates to a magnetic sensor device () comprising a magneto-resistive structure (). The magneto-resistive structure () comprises a magnetic free layer () configured to spontaneously generate a closed flux magnetization pattern in the free layer (). The magneto-resistive structure () also comprises a magnetic reference layer () having a non-closed flux reference magnetization pattern. The magnetic sensor device () further comprises a current generator () configured to generate an electric current in one or more layers of the magneto-resistive structure (). The electric current has a non-zero directional component perpendicular to the reference magnetization pattern.
