Research paper thumbnail of Inverse spin-valve-type magnetoresistance in spin engineered multilayered structures

This inverse spin-valve elfect is due to the inverse spin asymmetries of the electron scattering in successive Fe layers with and without Cr. This is a confirmation of the fundamental mechanism of the giant magnetoresistance.

The predictions of a two spin-channel model are summarized, and the Cu/CO data are analysed in terms of this theory. The Cu/ (NiFe) data show a more complex behaviour.
