ABSTRACTWe have fabricated pillar-like microstructures of high vacuum sputtered Fe/Cr Magnetic Multilayers and measured the giant magnetoresistance effect in the configuration where the measuring current is perpendicular to the film plane from 4.2 K to 300 K. At 4.2 K we find a magnetoresistance of 108 % for multilayers with a Fe thickness of 3 nm and a Cr thickness of 1 nm. The pronounced temperature dependence of the perpendicular magnetoresistance is studied for samples with different Cr thicknesses and tentatively explained by electron-Magnon scattering. The low-temperature data are compared with existing low-temperáture models.


Since the discovery of the giant magnetoresistance effect in magnetic multilayers in 1988, a new branch of physics and technology, called spin-electronics or spintronics, has emerged, where the flow of electrical charge as well as the flow of electron spin, the so-called “spin current,” are manipulated and controlled together. The physics of magnetism and the application of spin current have progressed in tandem with the nanofabrication technology of magnets and the engineering of interfaces and thin films. This book aims to provide an introduction and guide to the new physics and applications of spin current, with an emphasis on the interaction between spin and charge currents in magnetic nanostructures.
