31 TMR sensor The resistance of the device depends on RA product R (per unit area) depends exponentially on the barrier thickness A is set by size of the bits (decreases with time). To keep the resistance of the device constant you need to thin the barrier over time (or find lower R barrier materials). 31

At high fields because of the Lorentz force the angle between j and E can approach 90 degrees with little current flowing through metal high R.
