Abstract
Thin-film powder diffraction and in situ grazing incidence X-ray scattering have been used to determine the structural changes that occur during annea ling of permalloy/copper multilayers. We show that the enhanced stability i n the magneto transport properties of multilayers doped with cobalt at the interfaces correlates with reduced interdiffusion. The development of a lon g correlation length conformal roughness during annealing is observed. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
