摘要：

Mean-free-paths were recently claimed to be scaling lengths in the current-perpendicular-to-plane magnetoresistance when they are longer than the layer thicknesses of magnetic multilayers. We provide two new sets of evidence against such a claim; one involves reducing mean-free-paths by alloying, the other inserting a source of strong spin flipping. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.
