Anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) is the difference in the resistivity of ferromagnetic materials in external magnetic field when the field is applied along or perpendicular to the current. In macroscopic materials the conductance is diffusive (the mean free path of the electron is much smaller than the device dimensions) and AMR is due to spin dependent scattering of impurities. Until recently AMR used to be the primary way of detecting magnetic fields (as in hard-drive read heads).
