S. Honda et al., GIANT MAGNETORESISTANCE IN CO CU MULTILAYERS SPUTTER-DEPOSITED ON GLASS SUBSTRATES/, Journal of magnetism and magnetic materials, 126(1-3), 1993, pp. 419-421
Co/Cu multilayers have been prepared on glass substrates without buffe
r layers by rf magnetron sputtering under various conditions. The film
structure for establishing the large giant magnetoresistance is sugge
sted to have smooth, flat and sharp interfaces, and close-packed homog
eneous Cu layers with low resistivity. The role of the (200) texture i
s also discussed.
