In order to detect weak fields, the energy differencebetween different magnetization directions should be small; this is usuallyachieved by using many non-magnetic atomic spacer layers.

Sometimes, the magnetic fields are relatively weak, like the ones that thread their way through the spiral arms of galaxies. Sometimes, they're medium-strength, like Earth's.
