Abstract
We have observed ''giant magnetoresistance'' in short-period Cu/Co-Ni- Cu alloy superlattices electrodeposited from a single electrolyte unde r potentiostatic control. The superlattices were grown on polycrystall ine Cu substrates which were removed before transport measurements wer e made. Room-temperature magnetoresistances of over 15% in applied mag netic fields of up to 8 kOe were observed in superlattices having Cu l ayer thickness of less than 10 angstrom.
