  • Abstract
    We investigate the domain behavior of different magnetoresistance sensor elements to optimize a sensor shape for high sensitivity applications. Some of the encountered remanent domain patterns are analyzed using a novel quantitative magnetooptic observation technique. The center coercivity field and the saturation field of the elements were measured as a clue for stability and sensitivity of the sensor element
