Giant magnetoresistance in the cluster glass regime of Co-Ga alloys

A detailed study of low temperature electrical transport properties of CoxGa100−x (x = 54, 55.5, 57) alloy has been carried out. The origin of the resistivity anomalies and correlation between magnetic and electrical transport properties are identified through an elaborate analysis. The weak localiz...
