TL;DR: On montre que la resistance magnetique dans le plan, des sandwiches de couches ferromagnetiques non couplees separees par des couches metalliques ultrafines non magnetiques (Cu, Ag, Au, Au), est fortement accrue lorsque les aimantations des deux couchettes sont antiparalleles.

Abstract: We show that the in-plane magnetoresistance of sandwiches of uncoupled ferromagnetic (${\mathrm{Ni}}_{81}$${\mathrm{Fe}}_{19}$,${\mathrm{Ni}}_{80}$${\mathrm{Co}}_{20}$,Ni) layers separated by ultrathin nonmagnetic metallic (Cu,Ag,Au) layers is strongly increased when the magnetizations of the two ferromagnetic layers are aligned antiparallel. Using NiFe layers, we report a relative change of resistance of 5.0% in 10 Oe at room temperature. The comparison between different ferromagnetic materials (alloys or pure elements) leads us to emphasize the role of bulk rather than interfacial spin-dependent scattering in these structures, in contrast to Fe/Cr multilayers.

Interlayer exchange coupling in spin valves with specularly reflective oxide layers
Jongill Hong,Hitoshi Kanai +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a spin valve with thin oxide can make the interlayer coupling oscillatory as a function of thickness of the Cu spacer, which can greatly increase the giant magnetoresistance (GMR) value of the spin valve.

TL;DR: In this article, the half-metallic properties of Heusler alloys with both CuHg2Ti-type and AlCu2Mn-type structures were investigated using first principles calculations based on density functional the- ory (DFT).

Giant MR of CoFe/Cu Spin-Valves.
TL;DR: In this paper, the spin-valves on a sapphire substrate exhibited good fcc (111) preferred orientations and the maximum value of Δρ/ρ0 was 11%, which was larger than that obtained for Co/Cu spinvalve structures.

The limit of the giant magnetoresistance effect in only three layers
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the GMR effect of simple structures consisting of one nonmagnetic layer sandwiched in between two ferromagnetic layers can be as high as 40%/mT.

Mario Norberto Baibich,J. M. Broto,Albert Fert,F. Nguyen Van Dau,Frédéric Petroff,P. Etienne,G. Creuzet,A. Friederich,Jean Chazelas +8 more
TL;DR: This work ascribes this giant magnetoresistance of (001)Fe/(001)Cr superlattices prepared by molecularbeam epitaxy to spin-dependent transmission of the conduction electrons between Fe layers through Cr layers.
Enhanced magnetoresistance in layered magnetic structures with antiferromagnetic interlayer exchange
TL;DR: The electrical resistivity of Fe-Cr-Fe layers with antiferromagnetic interlayer exchange increases when the magnetizations of the Fe layers are aligned antiparallel, much stronger than the usual anisotropic magnetoresistance.

Tunneling between ferromagnetic films
TL;DR: In this article, the mean magnetizations of the two ferromagnetic film are parrallel or antiparallel and conductance measurement is related to the spin polarizations of conduction electrons.

Conductance and exchange coupling of two ferromagnets separated by a tunneling barrier.
TL;DR: In this article, a theory is given for three closely related effects involving a nonmagnetic electron-tunneling barrier separating two ferromagnetic conductors, and the theory predicts that the valve effect is weak and that the coupling is antiferromagnetic (Jl0).
