Effect of sputtering pressure-induced roughness on the microstructure and the perpendicular giant magnetoresistance of FeÕCr superlattices
We have studied the connection between structure and magnetism of Fe/Cr superlattices as a function of sputtering pressure. To measure the perpendicular giant magnetoresistance, we have fabricated microstructured Fe/Cr pillars embedded in SiO2 and interconnected with Nb electrodes. Because of the uniform current distribution in the Nb electrodes and the minimization of the superlattice-electrod...
متن کاملEnhancement of perpendicular and parallel giant magnetoresistance with the number of bilayers in FeÕCr superlattices
We have correlated a detailed quantitative structural analysis by x-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and high spatial resolution electron energy-loss spectroscopy imaging, with the magnetization and anisotropic magnetotransport properties in sputtered Fe/Cr superlattices. To accomplish this, we developed a technique for magnetotransport measurements in metallic superlattices w...
متن کاملGiant magnetoresistance of (001)Fe/(001)Cr magnetic superlattices.
We have studied the magnetoresistance of (001)Fe/(001)Cr superlattices prepared by molecularbeam epitaxy. A huge magnetoresistance is found in superlattices with thin Cr layers: For example, with rc, =9 A, at T =4.2 K, the resistivity is lowered by almost a factor of 2 in a magnetic field of 2 T. We ascribe this giant magnetoresistance to spin-dependent transmission of the conduction electrons ...
متن کاملGiant magnetoresistance in ferromagnet/superconductor superlattices.
We show magnetoresistance in excess of 1000% in trilayers containing highly spin-polarized La0.7Ca0.3MnO3 and high-Tc superconducting YBa2Cu3O7. This large magnetoresistance is reminiscent of the giant magnetoresistance (GMR) in metallic superlattices but with much larger values, and originates at spin imbalance due to the injection of spin-polarized carriers. Furthermore, in contrast to ordina...
متن کاملMagnetic properties of Co/Re hcp„101̄0... superlattices
hcp(101̄0) Co/Re superlattices were grown via magnetron sputtering on Al2O3(112̄0) substrates. The thickness of the Co layers was approximately 1.8 nm with the Re layer thickness varying between 0.5 nm and 3.0 nm. Low angle x-ray reflectivity revealed that for our growth conditions the interfacial roughness is approximately 0.4 nm in each material at each interface. High angle x-ray diffraction, ...
