摘要：

The magnetoresistance of Au-3/Cu-0.3/Co-1.2/Cu-t/Co-1.2/Cu-0.3/Au-25(111) multilayers (the numbers indicate the thickness in nanometers) grown by evaporation in UHV has been investigated between 1.4 and 300 K. By using a stepped wedge-shaped middle Cu layer, eight different t values could be obtained in a single sample. The MR exhibits an oscillatory behaviour up to t = 3.4 nm with a period of 0.8-1 nm, which is consistent with the predictions of RKKY theory for oscillatory interlayer coupling across Cu(111).
