Abstract
Epitaxial Fe/Cr superlattices with negligible intralayer scattering ha ve been grown on MgO(100) using MBE. The careful structural analysis o f such superlattices prepared under different conditions reveals the d etails of the interfacial origin of the giant magnetoresistance (GMR). We find the highest GMR in samples with minimum intermixing but an en hanced density of steps at the interfaces. Such Fe/Cr superlattices di splay GMR amplitudes up to 220%.
