摘要
We describe complex variations in resistance of a Co/Cu multilayer, generated by injection of an adjustable dc current density (similar to10(9) A/cm(2)) via a point contact. We attribute these variations to coupling of current-induced spin waves to lattice vibrations, leading especially to current-driven resonant excitations of phonons. We propose a simple model to explain the observed structured behavior of the variations as a function of the applied current and magnetic field.
