Low hysteresis FeMn-based top spin valve.

FeMn-based top spin valves Ta/[FeNi/CoFe]/Cu/CoFe/FeMn/Ta with different Cu and FeMn layers thicknesses were prepared by DC magnetron sputtering at room temperature. It was shown that low field hysteresis due to free layer magnetization reversal can be reduced down to (0.1 divided by 0.2) Oe keeping the GMR ratio higher 8% by using both layers thicknesses optimization and non-collinear geometry of magnetoresistance measurements. Dependence of low field hysteresis and GMR ratio on the angle between applied magnetic field and pinning direction are presented.

Golgi preparations of cervical part of the spinal cord were used to study sparely and densely branching neurons of lamina VII, sparely and densely branching neurons of lamina VIII and large densely branching motor neurons of lamina IX in 30-day kittens developing under the conditions of limited reticulospinal input. Limitation was induced by electrocoagulation of bulbar magnocellular nucleus and caudal reticular pontine nucleus performed at the 7th day. Computerized morphometry revealed that partial deafferentation affects the geometry in all studied cell types except densely branching neurons of lamina VIII. Adaptive nature of structural reorganization of spinal neurons and possible relationship between morphological properties and functional profile of cells are discussed.

Golgi preparations of cervical part of the spinal cord of 30-day kittens were used to study sparely and densely branching neurons of lamina VII, sparely and densely branching neurons of lamina VIII and big densely branching motor neurons (as classified by Leontovich) of medial and lateral regions of lamina IX. Qualitative morphological characteristics of geometry of each cell type were obtained by the method of computerized morphometry. The details of the structure of neurons belonging to different laminae of grey matter are discussed.
