摘要
Recent interest in Ru and Co/Ru multilayers stimulated us to measure their properties in the current-perpendicular-to-plane (CPP) geometry at 4.2 K. For sputtered samples, we present results for the resistivity of Ru, the interface specific resistances of Cu/Ru and Co/Ru, the spin-memory-loss length l(sf)(Ru) in Ru, the spin-memory-loss probability at Cu/Ru interfaces, and the spin-scattering anisotropy parameter gamma at Co/Ru interfaces.
