Abstract

The chapter presents and explains the possibilities of CNT forest growth on Fe–Pt nanoparticles for the magnetic nanomemory. The magnetoresistance phenomena – giant magnetoresistance and tunnelling magnetoresistance (GMR and TMR) – for nanomemory devices are based on CNTs of various morphologies (i.e. various chiralities, diameters). It includes metal- and semiconductor-like CNTs which can be considered as alternative variants for electromagnetic nanosensoring and magnetic nanomemory. The chapter also presents simulations of Fe–Pt magnetically disordered nanodrops, as well as spin transport models.
