Cpp-giant Magnetoresistance and Thermo-electric Power of Multilayers
نویسنده
چکیده
Oscillations of magnetoresistance and thermo-electric power (TEP ) vs. both nonmagnetic spacer as well as ferromagnetic slab thicknesses are studied in the current-perpendicular-to-plane (CPP ) geometry, in terms of the single-band tight-binding model. The spin-dependent conductance has been calculated from the Kubo formula by means of a recursion Green’s function technique, and the TEP directly from the well-known Onsager relations. In general, the observed oscillations may have either just one or two periods. In the latter case the long period of oscillations, related to spectacular beats, is apparently of non−RKKY type. The relative TEP oscillations are strongly enhanced in comparison with those of the giant magnetoresistance, have the same periods, but different phases and a negative bias. PACS numbers: 75.50R, 75.70F, 75.50Rr

Theory of electric transport through Fe/V/Fe trilayers inclu- ding the effect of impurities
The influence of Al and Si impurity layers on the giant magnetoresistance (GMR) and the magnetic properties of Fe/V/Fe(110) trilayers is investigated. The calculations are performed by employing the spinpolarized Kubo-Greenwood approach and the screened Korringa-Rostoker method for layered systems. All calculations are carried out with a fully-relativistic version. Therefore, we are able to con...
متن کاملElectric transport perpendicular to the planes
Since the discovery of the giant magnetoresistance (GMR) in magnetic multilayers, several theoretical descriptions have been used to determine the resistivity of such layered structures. The resistance for the current in direction of the planes of layers can easily be measured, and has been intensively studied theoretically. However, the investigation of the GMR for the current perpendicular to...
متن کاملSite-specific measurement of the giant magnetoresistance (GMR) of individual NiFe/Pt multilayers nanowires
As devices shrink, there is a requirement to characterize the magnetic properties of individual inhomogeneous nanosized components. Here the site-specific giant magnetoresistance (GMR) of individual NiFe/Pt multilayer nanowires has been evaluated in the current perpendicular to plane (CPP) geometry using a new in-situ method directly inside a scanning electron microscope (SEM). In this method a...
متن کاملMagnetic 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. ...
