Samenvatting
We present magnetoresistance (MR) data of high-vacuum magnetron sputtered NiFe/Cu multilayers (NiFe=NisoFe20) grown on Si(lOO) substrates with a Cu buffer layer and compare these with earlier results on Co/Cu(lOO) multilayers [1]. Measured MR values are directly proportional to the antiferromagnetically coupled fraction in the multilayers. Extrapolating to full antiparallel alignment, we can make a reliable comparison of the MR wrt,h the magnetoresistance model of Levy,
Zhang, and Fert [2,3]. For the NiFe/Cu multilayers the deduced spin-asymmetry parameters are a~iFe/Cu = 5.0 ± 0.4 and a~iFe = 2.1 ± 0.3 for interface and bulk scattering, respectively. Although much smaller than in our Co/Cu multilayers, where afo/Cu = 21 ± 3 and af0 = 2.6 ± 0.3, .it is still the spin dependence of the interface scattering that is the main cause for the large MR values.
