R. Schad et al., INFLUENCE OF DIFFERENT KINDS OF INTERFACE ROUGHNESS ON THE GIANT MAGNETORESISTANCE IN FE CR SUPERLATTICES/, Journal of magnetism and magnetic materials, 156(1-3), 1996, pp. 339-340
We present a detailed study of the influence of the interface properti
es on the amplitude of the GMR in Fe/Cr superlattices, including chang
es of the coupling, a synchrotron X-ray diffraction analysis and a the
oretical interpretation within the quasi-classical formalism. With inc
reasing amplitude of the interface roughness we observe a reduction of
the GMR.
