Giant magnetoresistance in Co/Cu multilayers after annealing
Multilayer films of [Co 10 Å/Cu(t)]64 with copper thicknesses from t=10 to 29 Å annealed for 1 h at temperatures about 350 °C showed a decrease in sample resistivity at 4.2 K. The gian...

Structural and magnetic properties of Co/Ag multilayers
The structural properties and growth of sputtered Co/Ag multilayers were studied with nuclear magnetic resonance. For samples with a nominal Co thickness of less than 10 Å the Co grows in three-...

The 2-ML (monolayer) oscillation period has been observed in the magnetization as well as in the magnetoresistance of Fe/Cr/Fe trilayers. Kerr effect measurements were performed in order to verify the periodicity and determine the kind of the coupling between the Fe layers. The magnetoresistance loops show characteristic steps at magnetic field values at which the size of the magnetization changes.
