    Notes: We report the observation of a giant magnetothermopower (GMT), giant magnetoresistance (GMR), and on magnetization measurements in Co/Cu[111] superlattices grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The maximum value of the GMT (at room temperature) was 14% for a Cu thickness of 9 A(ring) and the maximum GMR (at 4.2 K) was −26% at 7 A(ring) of Cu. Oscillations in the remnant magnetization and the saturation field as a function of Cu thickness with a period of about 10 A(ring) were observed. However, there were no oscillations in the GMT or the GMR. The maximum values of both the GMT and GMR are associated with saturation fields in excess of 40 kOe and with small remnant magnetizations. These results are consistent with the presence of antiferromagnetic coupling.

    Notes: The role of the density of states in the giant magnetoresistance (GMR) of ferromagnet 1 (FM1)/nonmagnetic (NM=Cu)/ferromagnet 1 (FM1) sandwiches has been investigated by inserting a thin layer of the second ferromagnetic material (FM2=Co) at the FM1/Cu interfaces. As the thickness of the inserted layer increases, the GMR increases to a value seen for purely Co/Cu/Co sandwiches. By using differing FM1 materials [e.g., Py (permalloy (Ni80Fe20), Ni, Fe] we observe the exponential increase in GMR as more Co is inserted to be dependent on the FM1 material behind it. This is explained by realizing that although the GMR is dominated by the scattering caused by defects like those at the FM2 material/Cu interface, the nature of the scattering depends on the density of states of the FM1 material. This result is discussed in terms of advanced theories on the origin of the GMR in magnetic multilayers. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Magnetoresistance of interleaved and separated Co/Cu multilayers in the CPP mode (2000)

    Notes: We have measured the field dependence of the magnetoresistance MR(H) in the CPP mode for two types of magnetic multilayers that differ only in the ordering of the magnetic layers: [Co (10 Å)/Cu/Co (60 Å)/Cu]N and [Co (10 Å)/Cu]N [Co (60 Å)/Cu]N, with the Cu layers always being 200 Å. The series resistor model predicts that in the CPP mode, MR(H) is independent of the ordering of the layers. Nevertheless, the MR(H) curves measured were found to be completely different for the two cases. We suggest that the reason for this difference is that the electron mean free path is long enough that the potential that scatters the electrons is due to pairs of neighboring magnetic layers, which differ for the two types of magnetic multilayers. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: It is of interest to determine the characteristic length scale that determines giant magnetoresistance (GMR). In order to understand this behavior, GMR multilayers of Co/Ru and Co/Cu have been studied at a temperature of 4.2 K. The total thickness of Co/Ru multilayers has been varied from 96 to 1654 Å and Co/Cu from 77 to 2712 Å by increasing the number of bilayers (N). It has been observed that GMR increases with the number of bilayers and more than 20 bilayers for Co/Ru and 50 for Co/Cu are needed to reach the saturation value. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Giant magnetoresistance in melt-spun Cu87Co13 : 38th Annual Conference on Magnetism and Magnetic Materials (1994)

    Notes: Results for the temperature and magnetic-field dependence of melt-spun Cu87Co13 are presented and discussed. The magnetoresistance of the as-spun sample exhibits superparamagnetic behavior with a magnetoresistance of 18% at 0.4 K and in a field of 80 kOe. The magnetic-field dependence of the magnetoresistance is approximately proportional to the Langevin function. The microstructure of the sample was investigated by transmission electron microscopy and it appears that the giant magnetoresistance is due to the presence of small Co precipitates with an approximate mean diameter of 12 A(ring) and a mean separation of 35 A(ring).

    59Co nuclear magnetic resonance studies of the effect of annealing molecular beam epitaxy grown Co/Cu(111) multilayers : The 40th annual conference on magnetism and magnetic materials (1996)

    Notes: 59Co NMR, magnetotransport and grazing incidence x-ray scattering studies have been undertaken on a series of Co/Cu(111) multilayers, grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), and subsequently annealed. Magnetotransport measurements showed that the magnetoresistance (Δρ/ρ) decreased only slightly as the annealing temperature was increased, but both the resistivity ρ and the change in resistivity Δρ doubled. NMR measurements showed that the strain in the interior of the Co layers relaxed slightly as a result of annealing while the strain at the interfaces remained constant. A small increase in the ratio of the area under the main NMR line to the area under the interface line, together with a reduction of interface line area, suggests a slight deterioration in the quality of the interfaces as a result of annealing. These observations are consistent with the model that MBE grown multilayers require good quality interfaces for large magnetoresistance (MR). Data from x-ray measurements showed that the increase in resistivity could be explained as a result of alloying between the top Cu layer of the multilayer and the Au capping layer. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Spin-dependent scattering in the nonmagnetic layers of annealed Co/Cu multilayers : The 40th annual conference on magnetism and magnetic materials (1996)

    Notes: Annealing a multilayer is expected to promote diffusion at the interfaces. We have found that the interface roughness and giant magnetoresistance of Co/Cu (111) multilayers, grown by molecular-beam epitaxy on sapphire substrates, remain unchanged during anneals of up to 320 °C despite the zero-field resistivity having doubled. We explain this large increase in resistivity as due to the formation of an alloy between the top Cu layer of the multilayer and the Au protective cap. We propose that scattering in the AuCu alloy is spin dependent. We discuss this idea in the light of mean free path effects and the density of states of the entire sample. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    The role of impurity scattering in Co/Cu (111) M.B.E. multilayers (abstract) : The 40th annual conference on magnetism and magnetic materials (1996)

    Notes: The origin of spin-dependent scattering (sds) within magnetic/nonmagnetic systems is a controversial issue which has attracted much attention in recent years. There is now a consensus of opinion that sds is necessary for the giant magnetoresistance (GMR) and most work suggests that this scattering occurs at the interface, but the details have yet to be discovered. Numerous studies have been performed placing impurities within the multilayer and in nearly all cases a reduction in MR is observed. The only exceptions to this are the cases where magnetic impurities are used. We have observed the first enhancement of MR for the Co/Cu system using nonmagnetic impurities. In the case of a simple trilayer system up to an eightfold increase in MR is observed while for a multilayer system up to 40% increase is recorded. Impurities have been introduced during sample growth in a controlled manner using a shutter arrangement such that a direct comparison of impurity-doped and an undoped sample can be made. In previous impurity studies changes in coupling have given rise to confusing results. In order to avoid this we have used relatively thick Cu spacer layers and very small levels of impurities so that no magnetic coupling changes are induced by doping. All samples were characterized by x-ray diffraction and in situ RHEED where we found no evidence of structural changes induced by the Au impurities. We discuss these results in the light of current theories of spin-dependent scattering. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We have grown a series of Fe samples on Au(111) by molecular beam epitaxy. Fe was grown on Au at 30 °C and shows clear reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED) oscillations up to 8 monolayers, suggesting layer-by-layer growth on Au. A combined study of RHEED, medium energy ion scattering, and x-ray diffraction scans has strongly indicated that Fe initially grew as fcc(111) on Au(111) below the thickness of 3 monolayer and for the subsequent growth the Fe bcc(110) structure begins to form. Magneto-optical Kerr effect measurement has shown that the magnetization easy axis lies in the plane of the film for the thickness range from 3 to 20 Å and there is a perpendicular anisotropy when the thickness of Fe is about one monolayer. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The ability to grow high quality thin metallic layers has brought about the discovery of the giant magnetoresistance (GMR) in multilayers and equally the perpendicular anisotropy exhibited by certain ferromagnetic thin films such as Co. In this article, we will describe magnetoresistance and magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) measurements of molecular beam epitaxy-grown multilayers of Co/Cu(111). It is demonstrated that by controlled doping of the interface between the Co and Cu with submonolayer amounts of Au we are able to increase the magnitude of the GMR. Analysis of MOKE data shows that there is an increase in the perpendicular anisotropy of the Au-doped samples compared to those without Au which can account for the increase in the GMR. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.
