摘要
Comparison of the magnetoresistance (MR) on two groups of spin-valve multilayers, NiO/NiFe/ Cu/NiFe/Cu/NiO and NiO/NiFe/Cu/NiFe/Cu, has been made in order to investigate the possibility of the enhanced specular scattering at NiO/metal interface. No clear difference in MR between the two systems has been found, suggesting that the enhancement of specular scattering at interfaces is not the origin of the large MR. For the held direction almost perpendicular to the plane, we found a sensitive angular dependence of MR along with a large unidirectional anisotropy. To sort out any specific characteristics of the spin-valve system compared to the multilayers, thermoelectric power and Hall effect have been investigated for the first time.
