H. Kubota et al., COMPOSITION DEPENDENCE OF GIANT MAGNETORESISTANCE IN NIXCO1-X CU (X =0-1) MULTILAYER FILMS/, Journal of magnetism and magnetic materials, 126(1-3), 1993, pp. 463-465
NixCo1-x/Cu multilayers were prepared onto a glass substrate by sputte
ring. Both oscillations of magnetoresistance ratio and interlayer exch
ange coupling strength as a function of the Cu layer thickness were ob
served. The magnitude of MR ratio and the interlayer exchange coupling
strength increased with increasing Co content. Cu layer thickness for
the MR peaks increased also with increasing Co content.
