Temperature dependence of the magnetoresistance in Co/Re superlattices onAl2O3

Abstract: Using a patterned hcp ͓Co ͑17 Å͒/Re (7Å)] 20 antiferromagnetically coupled superlattice, with the c axis in the film plane, magnetoresistance ͑MR͒ measurements were made in the temperature range between 5 K and room temperature. The MR was simulated and decomposed into its anisotropic magnetoresistance ͑AMR͒ and giant magnetoresistance ͑GMR͒ components using the magnetization as a function of angle determined from neutron reflectivity experiments. We find that the GMR is anisotropic and has a different tempera… Show more

“…6,11 Charlton et al, 11 assuming independent contributions from AMR and GMR, determined that the dips originated from the AMR scattering and obtained excellent agreement between simulations and experiment. In our studies, in contrast to the work of Charlton et al, 11 a temperature dependence in the positions of the minima is found. The high aspect ratio of the individual wires yields a shape anisotropy that gives a preference for equilibrium magnetization along the wire axis.…”

“…[6][7][8][9] In these samples the magnetic easy axis of the Co layers was in the plane of the layer, and the growth direction was along the (101 0) direction. In zero external field, it was found from magnetotransport and magnetoresisitance measurements that adjacent Co layers are AF ordered when the Re layer thickness is less than 1.0 nm, and magnetically decoupled when the Re layer thickness was greater than or equal to 1.5 nm.…”

“…Only one physical constraint was placed on the adjustable parameters in the simulation: that p, /pll must be the same for the current flowing along a given crystallographic direction because this ratio is proportional to the ratio of the spin up and spin down resistivities, which only depends on the crystallographic direction in which the current is flowing [16,17]. Our analysis shows that the interesting dips in the MR are only due to AMR [15]. The magnetoresistance of hcp (0001) oriented Co/Re multilayers has been found by other authors to be less than 2 % at 18 K [18], while our superlattices have a MR larger than 3.5 % at 5 K in certain geometries.…”

“…Magnetoresistance measurements were made using a cryostat with a 5.5 T superconducting magnet. The sample was patterned into an "L" shape using standard photolithography techniques [15]. One of the arms of the pattern was oriented parallel to the c-axis, while the other was perpendicular to it.…”
