Abstract :
Current-perpendicular-to-plane (CPP) giant magnetoresistance (GMR) pillars with epitaxially grown FePt/Au layers were fabricated by magnetron sputtering. Structure, magnetic properties and transport properties have been investigated using X-ray diffraction, superconducting quantum interference device magnetometer and conventional dc four-probe method respectively.
