Transport properties of exchange biased mesoscale wires

The magnetic field dependence of the anisotropic magneto-resistance (AMR) was measured in exchange biased straight and zigzag CoFe wires. The field dependent AMR of the zigzag wires is modeled as a superposition of the AMR of the straight wires. Micromagnetic simulations of the system provided additional information on the magnetization in the straight and zigzag wires.
