Abstract
Disclosed is an artificial multilayer in which ferromagnetic layers and nonmagnetic layers are alternatively laminated, wherein a uniaxial magnetic anisotropy is introduced into the ferromagnetic layers in a predetermined direction, thereby controlling the gradient of the relative change of resistivity to the change of external magnetic field. The uniaxial magnetic anisotropy is introduced into the ferromagnetic layers by applying a magnetic field along the surface of ferromagnetic layers during the formation thereof.
