Abstract

Co EXAFS data for these Co/Ag multilayers exhibit no changes in basic form and obey a simple scaling with Co thickness down to 6Å. Over this same thickness range the giant magnetoresistance and the manner in which magnetization approaches saturation change substantially. These results indicate that local structural changes do not play a significant role in altering the magnetic properties of this multilayer system.
