The microwave magnetoresistance of CoFe/Cu/CoFe/FeMn spin valves and CoFe/Cu/CoFe three-layer nanostructures with high magnetoresistance has been studied. The transmission and reflection coefficients were measured at the frequency range from 26 to 38 GHz in magnetic fields up to 12 kOe. It is shown that the dependences of the transmission coefficient of spin valves are not symmetric with respect to the H = 0 axis, as well as the dependences of magnetoresistance. It is established that the relative changes in the microwave transmission coefficient are 1.5–2 times higher than the relative magnetoresistance measured at direct current. Changes in the reflection coefficient have a smaller value and the opposite sign with respect to changes in the transmission coefficient.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
