Abstract
We measured the magnetoresistance of Fe/Cr magnetic multilayers grown by sputtering techniques as a function of temperature and Cr thickness. Our experimental results are well described by the quantum model of giant magnetoresistance of Levy, Zhang, and Fert. The influence of the various electron-scattering processes is discussed.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
