Magnetic and electrical properties of metal-insulator nanogranular thin films are overviewed, from the spintronics point of view, by presenting our recent results. (1) The metal-rich ferromagnetic ones possess ultrahigh-frequency (MHz-GHz) permeabilities mu', mu '', mainly owing to large induced magnetic anisotropy field H-k. They are useful for various magnetic devices, such as thin-film inductors and noise suppressors. (2) The insulator-rich superpramagnetic ones exhibit tunnel-type magnetoresistance, being large in (Mg or Al)-fluoride base films. The Granular-In-Gap (GIG) devices with improved field sensitivity are useful for very low magnetic-field sensors. (C) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
