Summary:Giant magnetoresistance (GMR) in heterogeneous alloy films offers
an alternative to GMR in multilayers and spin valves in a potentially
simpler structure. In this review, the general features or GMR in these
heterogeneous films are discussed. These include film preparation,
structure, magnetic properties and magnetoresistive behavior and the
possible correlations among these features. It is emphasized that we are
at a very early stage in the development of this subject. In particular,
much more detailed microstructural data are required in order to
formulate a reliable model
