The reductive passivation of granular interface was proposed to enhance the tunneling magnetoresistance of bulk granular magnetite. For this, an annealing in paraffin wax has been applied. As a result, the low-field magnetoresistance response was inc... Read More about Effect of interface passivation on the magnetoresistance of granular magnetite Fe3(1-δ)O4.
