Abstract

Magnetoresistance measurements were performed in magnetic fields up to 5 T, to examine the effects of boron doping on the electron transport properties of Ni3Al thin (500 Å, nominal, thickness) films. Both a doped (~200 ppm B) and undoped film were investigated. Four-probe magnetoresistance (magnetic field = 50 G and 5 T) measurements indicate that both samples undergo a phase transition in the 200 K – 300 K temperature range.
