Abstract
Cobalt-samarium alloy films were prepared by alternate deposition of C o and Sm in the presence of an external magnetic field to obtain thin magnetic layers with large in-plane coercive fields. These anisotropic CoSm layers were used as hard magnetic layers of noncoupled-type magn etoresistance multilayers or as pinning layers of spin-valve structure s. Large magnetoresistance changes up to 4.6% were attained in the CoS m/Co/Cu/NiFe system.
