Abstract
We report on giant magnetoresistance (GMR) of Si(100)/Cu-20nm/(Py-dPy/Cu-dCu)100
where Py=Ni83Fe17, multilayer films prepared by face-to-face sputtering with 0.5 ≤ dCu ≤ 3.5 nm and 0.5 ≤ dPy ≤ 10 nm.
It has been shown that the GMR sensitivity depends on the relative changes of resistivity as well as on the value of the
antiferromagnetic interlayer exchange coupling strength JAF. The highest GMR sensitivity (0.5%/Oe) has been
achieved for dCu=2.1 nm and dPy=3.5 nm.
