Over time, SMR has been widely used to interpret results from many types of experiments, including magnetoresistance measurements, spin-torque ferromagnetic resonance, harmonic Hall voltage studies, magnetic field sensors, and switching of magnetization or Néel vectors.

From Science Daily

This process is known as two-vector magnetoresistance.

From Science Daily

This reanalysis showed that many influential experimental results once attributed to spin Hall magnetoresistance or other spin-current-related, or even unrelated, mechanisms can be consistently explained using the two-vector MR framework.

From Science Daily

They provide the first strong experimental confirmation of the two-vector magnetoresistance model and establish a single, universal physical explanation for UMR.

From Science Daily

By doing so, the work offers a simpler and more comprehensive way to understand magnetoresistance across a wide range of spintronic systems.
