Abstract

Magnetic circular x-ray dichroism measurements on CO/Cu and Fe/Cu Multilayers at the K edge of copper show that the 4p -states of copper are significantly spin-polarized by the adjacent magnetic layers. In relation to the phase opposition of the copper thickness-dependent magnetoresistance of CO/Cu and Fe/Cu Multilayers it is of prime importance to notice that the polarization of the conduction electrons of copper follows specifically the polarization of the conduction electrons of the adjacent magnetic element.
