    摘要: A magnetic sensor including a plurality of magnetoresistive elements; each magnetoresistive element including a ferromagnetic layer having a magnetization that is orientable at or above a threshold temperature; the magnetic sensor further includes a plasmonic structure destined to be irradiated by electromagnetic radiation and including a spatially periodic plasmonic array of metallic structures. The period of the plasmonic array and the lateral dimension of the metallic structures are adjusted to obtain plasmon resonance of the plasmonic structure for a given wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation. The plasmonic array is arranged in the magnetic sensor such as to heat the first ferromagnetic layer at or above the threshold temperature, from the enhanced absorption of the electromagnetic radiation by plasmon resonance. The present disclosure further concerns a system including the sensor and an emitting device configured to emit electromagnetic radiation.
