Abstract :
The paper discuss about the CPP-GMR films deposited with tilted incidence. The tilted free layer slightly increased MR ratio and RA, but the MR ratio was decreased when included a tilted Cu spacer. These results suggest that using tilted deposition can increase scattering at a layer having tilted grain boundaries.
