What Does CMR Stand For?
CMR stands for Colossal Magnetoresistance
Colossal Magnetoresistance (CMR) refers to a significant change in the electrical resistance of a material in the presence of a magnetic field. This phenomenon is mainly observed in certain transition metal oxides, such as manganese oxides, and is characterized by a dramatic increase in conductivity when subjected to magnetic fields. CMR has important implications for the development of advanced magnetic sensors, data storage technologies, and spintronic devices, making it a key area of research in condensed matter physics and materials science.
