Journal ArticleDOI

Magnetoresistive-based biosensors and biochips.

TL;DR: This detection platform provides a robust, inexpensive sensing technique with high sensitivity and considerable scope for quantitative signal data, enabling magnetoresistive biochips to meet specific diagnostic needs that are not met by existing technologies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biodetection using magnetically labeled biomolecules and arrays of spin valve sensors (invited)

TL;DR: On-chip spin-valve sensors were used to detect the binding of streptavidin-functionalized superparamagnetic labels to sensor surface-bound biotin and the detection of biomolecular recognition was demonstrated using 2 μm Micron-sized and 250 nm Nanomag®-D labels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Femtosecond control of electric currents in metallic ferromagnetic heterostructures

TL;DR: Using terahertz (10(12) Hz) emission spectroscopy and exploiting the spin-orbit interaction, this work demonstrates the optical generation of electric photocurrents in metallic ferromagnetic heterostructures at the femtosecond timescale.
Journal ArticleDOI

Single magnetic microsphere placement and detection on-chip using current line designs with integrated spin valve sensors: Biotechnological applications

TL;DR: Superparamagnetic labels, 400 nm dextran iron oxide particles and 2 μm polymer encapsulated iron oxide microspheres, with biomolecules immobilized on the surface, were controllably placed on chip sites using tapered Al current lines and moved to and from adjacent spin valve sensors using magnetoresistance (MR).
