Abstract
The effect of disorder on the perpendicular magnetoresistance of magnetic m ultilayers is investigated theoretically. Various kinds of disorder are con sidered: (i) interface substitutional disorder and (ii) bulk disorder in th e various layers and in the leads. The calculations are based upon the non- equilibrium Green's function formalism, together with the recursion method for calculating the real-space Green's function. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.
