Figure 2 (IMAGE) Tohoku University Caption The thermodynamically stable crystal structure in cobalt-manganese-iron ternary alloys which displays the composition of the material in which the huge magnetoresistance ratio was discovered, and the magnetoresistance data collected at low and room temperature. These characteristics were obtained due to the body-centered cubic structure in a metastable state Credit Shigemi Mizukamai and Tomohiro Ichinose Usage Restrictions Reporters may use freely these materials in news coverage with appropriate credit information.
