Anisotropic magnetoresistance of GdBa2Cu3Oy film

Abstract The anisotropy of transverse magnetoresistance has been measured below the gadolinium Neel temperature in evaporated single crystal films of GdBa 2 Cu 3 O y ( y c -axis. On the other hand, with the field perpendicular to the c -axis, the magnetoresistance shows a single peak. This behavior of the magnetoresistance should be related to the magnetism of Gd ions. Evidence of the interaction between Gd ions and the Cu(2) planes is expected.
