AbstractGiant magnetoresistance values exceeding 65% at room temperature are reported in antiferromagnetically coupled Co/Cu multilayers grown on Fe buffer layers using magnetron sputter deposition. For such samples the saturation fields exceed 10 kOe. However by taking advantage of the rapid decrease of the Co interlayer magnetic exchange coupling with increasing Cu spacer layer thickness, large magnetoresistance values exceeding 35% can be obtained at room temperature for saturation fields of just a few hundred oersted.

ABSTRACTThe magnetic interlayer exchange coupling in Fe/Si-based thin film structures employing sputtered multilayers with variations of Si-alloyed Fe for the magnetic layers and Fe-alloyed Si spacers, as well as wedge-shaped MBE-grown Fe/Si/Fe sandwich samples has been systematically studied. From structural and magnetic analysis it is concluded that ultrathin Si and FexSi100-x (x < 50) spacer layers transform into a crystalline iron suicide with a composition close to Fe50Si50. The exchange coupling mediated by this metallic suicide is antiferromagnetic and depends on the spacer thickness in an exponential, i.e. non-oscillatory, manner with a universial characteristic decay length of 3–4 Å at room temperature. This observation can be qualitatively explained within the framework of a recent coupling theory on the premise that the FeSi interlayer has the metastable CsCl(B2)-structure.
