Magnetoresistive properties of permalloy thin films and permalloy/Cu multilayers

Abstract

The results on the magnetic properties, such as anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) of NiFe (permalloy) thin films and giant magnetoresistance (GMR) of (NiFe/Cu/NiFe) multilayers have been investigated. The correlation of the magnetoresistance effects with microstructure and deposition parameters of magnetic thin films and multilayers is presented.
