Conduction Electron Scattering and Spin-Flipping at Sputtered Co/Ni Interfaces

H. Y. T. Nguyen, R. Acharyya, E. Huey +6

Current-perpendicular-to-plane magnetoresistance (CPP-MR) measurements let us quantify conduction electron scattering and spin-flipping at a sputtered ferromagnetic/ferromagnetic (…

A Study of Spin-Flipping in Sputtered IrMn using Py-based Exchange-Biased Spin-Valves

R. Acharyya, H. Y. T. Nguyen, W. P. Pratt +1

To study spin flipping within the antiferromagnet IrMn, we extended prior Current-Perpendicular-to-Plane (CPP) Giant Magnetoresistance (GMR) studies of Py-based exchange-biased-spi…

Conduction Electron Spin-Flipping at Sputtered Co(90)Fe(10)/Cu Interfaces

H. Y. T. Nguyen, R. Acharyya, W. P. Pratt +1

From measurements of the current-perpendicular-to-plane (CPP) magnetoresistance of ferromagnetically coupled [Co(90)Fe(10)/Cu]xn multilayers, within sputtered Permalloy-based doubl…

A way to measure electron spin-flipping at F/N interfaces and application to Co/Cu

B. Dassonneville, R. Acharyya, H. Y. T. Nguyen +3

We describe a technique, using the current-perpendicular-to-plane (CPP) geometry, to measure the parameter delta(F/N), characterizing flipping of electron spins at a ferromagnetic/…

Perpendicular-current Studies of Electron Transport Across Metal/Metal Interfaces

W. P. Pratt, J. Bass

We review what we have learned about the scattering of electrons by the interfaces between two different metals (M1/M2) in the current-perpendicular-to-plane (CPP) geometry. In thi…

Sensitivity of Ag/Al Interface Specific Resistances to Interfacial Intermixing

A. Sharma, N. Theodoropoulou, Shuai Wang +3

We have measured an Ag/Al interface specific resistance, 2AR(Ag/Al)(111) = 1.4 fOhm-m^2, that is twice that predicted for a perfect interface, 50% larger than for a 2 ML 50%-50% al…
