What Does AMR Stand For?

AMR stands for Anisotropic Magnetoresistance

AMR, or Anisotropic Magnetoresistance, refers to the phenomenon where the electrical resistance of a material changes in response to an applied magnetic field, depending on the relative orientation of the magnetic field and the current flow. This effect is utilized in various applications, particularly in magnetic sensors and data storage devices, where it enhances performance by enabling the detection of magnetic fields with high sensitivity and precision.
