Magnetic Properties and Structural Study of Ni-Co/Cu Multilayers Prepared by Electrodeposition Method
Ni-Co/Cu multilayers have been grown by electrodeposition method from a single electrolyte (based on Ni(SO4).6H2O, Co(SO4).7H2O, Cu(SO4) and H3BO3) using galvanostatic control on titanium sublayers. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns confirmed the multilayered structure with the nanometer thicknesses. Also, electron diffraction x-ray (EDX) analysis confirmed the purity of deposited samples. ...
متن کاملInterface proximity effects in current-perpendicular-to-plane magnetoresistance
Interface proximity effects in current-perpendicular-to-plane magnetoresistance" (2007). Using a tight-binding model that takes into account a realistic electronic band structure and includes defect scattering we investigate spin-dependent transport in Co/ Cu/ Co trilayers when current flows perpendicular to the plane. We show that resistance of the Co/ Cu interface depends on the proximity of ...
متن کاملPerpendicular spin valves with ultrathin ferromagnetic layers: Magnetoelectronic circuit investigation of finite-size effects
We address two finite-size effects in perpendicular transport through multilayers of ferromagnetic and normal metal layers: i the transport properties depend on the magnetic layer thickness when of the order or thinner than the spin-flip diffusion length and ii magnetic layers with thickness approaching the magnetic coherence length become transparent for spin currents polarized perpendicular t...
متن کاملUltra-thin Co/Pd multilayers with enhanced high-temperature annealing stability
Understanding the thermal budget of perpendicular materials is crucial for the potential application perpendicular magnetic tunnel junctions. In this paper, we study the effects of high-temperature rapid thermal annealing on the structural and magnetic properties of ultra-thin Co/Pd multilayers deposited at room temperature. It is shown that perpendicular magnetic anisotropy of ultra-thin Co/Pd...
متن کاملPerpendicular hot electron spin-valve effect in a new magnetic field sensor: The spin-valve transistor.
A new magnetic field sensor is presented, based on perpendicular hot electron transport in a giant magnetoresistance (CoyCu) 4 multilayer, which serves as a base region of an n-silicon metal-base transistor structure. A 215% change in collector current is found in 500 Oe (77 K), with typical characteristics of the spin-valve effect. The in-plane magnetoresistance was only 3%. The transistor str...
