Abstract A quantum-statistical model using the Kubo formalism is proposed for describing the magnetoresistance of a multilayer structure with the current perpendicular to the plane of the layers. In particular, this model describes the case of noncollinear magnetization of consecutive ferromagnetic layers of the structure. Interference between electron wave functions with different directions of the spin projections onto the magnetization axis, which arises in the noncollinear configuration, is investigated along with the role of electron scattering, not only within the bulk of the layers, but also at their interfaces.
