Abstract
A methodology for identifying essential magnetoresistive parameters of spin valves is presented. The method uses a formulation of the magnet oresistance of a magnetic layer that incorporates the magnetic and tra nsport properties of the device in a phenomenological way. Experimenta l data are used in conjunction with the formulation to obtain magnetor esistive parameters. The method is shown to accurately characterize a set of NiFe/Cu/NiFe spin-valve devices.
