Giant Magnetoresistance (GMR) head technology is one of the latest advancement in hard disk drive (HDD) storage industry. The GMR head superlattice structure consists of alternating layers of extremely thin metallic ferromagnet and paramagnet films. A large decrease in the resistivity from antiparallel to parallel alignment of the film magnetizations can be observed, known as giant magnetoresistance (GMR) effect. The present work characterizes the in-plane electrical and thermal conductivities of Cu/CoFe GMR multilayer structure in the temperature range of 50 K to 340 K using Joule-heating and electrical resistance thermometry in suspended bridges. The thermal conductivity of the GMR layer monotonously increased from 25 Wm−1K−1 (at 55 K) to nearly 50 Wm−1K−1 (at room temperature). We also report the GMR ratio of 17% and a large negative magnetothermal resistance effect (GMTR) of 33% in Cu/CoFe superlattice structure. The Boltzmann transport equation (BTE) is used to estimate the GMR ratio, and to investigate the effect of repeats, as well as the spin-dependent interface and boundary scatting on the transport properties of the GMR structure. Aside from the interesting underlying physics, these data can be used in the predictions of the Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) failure and self-heating in GMR heads.

ABSTRACTThe phenomenon of giant magnetoresistance (GMR), previously measured only in multilayer films comprising ferromagnetic layers separated by nonmagnetic spacers, has recently been observed in single layer ‘granular’ alloy thin films prepared by cosputtering a ferromagnet and a nonmagnet which tend to phase separate (cluster) under equilibrium conditions. We have systematically studied the magnetoresistance of two new phase separating GMR systems (Ni66Fe16Co18-Ag and Co9oFelo-Ag) both of which exhibit large room temperature GMR (>11% and >14%, respectively). We have also attempted to influence the details of the field dependence of the magnetoresistance in the previously studied Co-Ag system by employing novel processing methods including interrupted sputtering and layering of the Co-Ag alloy with Cu spacers.

ABSTRACTEarly experiments to define oscillations in the CIP magnetoresistance (CIP-MR) of Ag/Co analogous to those for tcu < 5nm in Cu/Co were unsuccessful. The MR in this region was very small. Later experiments by Araki using thin (0.6nm ) Co layers produced much larger MRs and lead us to look at the MRs of similar samples more closely. We conclude that the large MR of such samples is associated with the discontinuous nature of the Co layers. The object of the present paper is to combine the high MR associated with the thin Co layers with the field dependence governed by the magnetization reversal in thick, and magnetically soft permalloy (Py) layers. We have measured the CIP-MR of sputtered samples of the [Co(O.4 nm)/Ag(tAg)/Py(tpy)/Ag(tAg)]×15 system with tAg ranging from 1.05 to 4nm and with tpy = 2 or 4nm. We obtain MRs at 4.2K as large as 35% in less than 100e with slopes as high as 5%/Oe. With CPP measurements slopes as high as 10%/Oe have been obtained. Squid magnetometer measurements indicate that, as the temperature increases, there is a crossover to superparamagnetic behaviour and a resulting gross deterioration of the MR slopes at room temperature. Efforts to increase the room temperature sensitivity are described. Detailed measurements of the CPP-MR of the [Co(0.4nm)/Ag(4nm)/Py(tpy)/Ag(4nm)]x20 series of multilayers are consistent with a two spin band model modified to take account of the granular nature of the Co.

The giant magnetoresistance (GMR) effect in FeMn/NiCoFe/Cu/NiCoFe spin valve prepared by dc opposed target magnetron sputtering is reported. The spin valve thin films are characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM) and magnetoresistance ratio measurements. All measurements are performed in room temperature. The inserted 45 mm thickness FeMn layer to the NiCoFe/Cu/NiCoFe system can increase the GMR ratio up to 32.5%. The coercive field to be increased is compared with different FeMn layer thickness. Furthermore, the coercive field (Hc) decreases with increasing FeMn layer thickness. Magnitude of coercive field is 0.1 T, 0.09 T and 0.08 T for FeMn layer thickness is 30 nm, 45 nm and 60 nm, respectively. The FeMn layer is used to lock the magnetization in the ferromagnetic layer through the exchange anisotropy. This paper will describe the development of a GMR spin valve and its magnetic properties.
