摘要：

Magnetoresistive sensors using spin valves and magnetic tunnel junctions are reviewed, considering applications as readers in hard disk drives, as well as applications where the ultimate field detection limits are required ( from nT down to pT). The sensor noise level in quasi-DC or high-frequency applications is described, leading to sensor design considerations concerning biomedical and read head applications. Magnetic tunnel junction based sensors using MgO barriers appear as the best candidates for ultra-low field ( pT) detection, either in the high-frequency regime, or for quasi-DC applications.
