Abstract

The Magnetoresistance Measured perpendicular to the plane of the Multilayer, (CPP-MR) has been measured for the Cu/CO and Cu/ (Ni/Fe) systems. 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.
