Abstract
Structural investigations of the Co layer in Cu/Co/Cu/NiFe/FeMn spin v alves have been performed by NMR. In addition to hcp stacking faults i n an overall fcc structure, a significant amount of bulk defects, whic h may affect the magnetoresistance, is also present. The interface pla nes seem rather intermixed although they include some wide islands of pure elements.
