摘要：

We present the first measurements of the specific resistance change, A Delta R, with increasing Co layer thickness, t(Co), of current-perpendicular (CPP) exchange-biased spin-valves (EBSVs) of Co and Cu. A Delta R grows about as predicted for a long spin-diffusion length in Co until about t(Co) = 20 nm, after which it grows more slowly than predicted. Possible reasons for this deviation from prediction are considered, including a short spin-diffusion length in Co.
