Influence of diffuse interfaces on the magnetoresistance in trilayer magnetic structures

Abstract

Abstract The numerical Monte Carlo study of influence of diffuse interfaces on the magnetoresistance in trilayer magnetic structures Co/Cu(100)/Co and Pt/Co/Cu(100)/Co/Pt is carried out. The calculations of temperature dependence of the CPP magnetoresistance are realized for structures with thickness of cobalt films N=11 monolayers for cases with sharp and diffuse interfaces. Comparison of results shows that diffuse interfaces lead to appreciable influence on the magnetoresistance in these nanostructures.
