In 1962 Albert Fert graduated from the École Normale Supérieure in Paris, [3] where he attended courses by the physicists Alfred Kastler and Jacques Friedel. (As an undergraduate he had strong interests in photography and cinema, and was a great admirer of the work of Ingmar Bergman. [4])
In 1993, Thierry Valet and Albert Fert presented a model for the giant magnetoresistance in the CPP geometry, based on the Boltzmann equations. In this model the chemical potential inside the magnetic layer is split into two functions, corresponding to electrons with spins parallel and antiparallel to the magnetization of the layer.
French physicist Albert Fert received from the King of Sweden the medal and diplomas of the Physics Nobel Prize on the 10th December 2007. The award was for discovering the giant magnetoresistance at the Laboratoire de Physique des Solides. The work had an impact on electronics created a new form of it- spintronics. [20]
Peter Andreas Grünberg (German: [ˈpeːtɐ ˈɡʁyːnbɛʁk] ⓘ; 18 May 1939 – 7 April 2018 [1] [2] [3]) was a German physicist, and Nobel Prize in Physics laureate for his discovery with Albert Fert of giant magnetoresistance which brought about a breakthrough in gigabyte hard disk drives. [4]

On 10 December 2007, Peter Grünberg from Forschungszentrum Jülich was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics together with Albert Fert from Paris-Sud University in France. The two scientists were honoured for the discovery of giant magnetoresistance , which they had made independently of each other. [ 25 ]
Or, in Albert Wilde’s case, that when a sheep takes a swim in a river, she comes out twice as heavy as she is when she’s dry. ... “No one knows wool is a natural, renewable fertilizer ...
Antiferromagnetism plays a crucial role in giant magnetoresistance, as had been discovered in 1988 by the Nobel Prize winners Albert Fert and Peter Grünberg (awarded in 2007) using synthetic antiferromagnets. [7] [8] [9]
