Abstract
The magnetic and electrical properties of (Co/Ge)nfilms are experimentally studied. It is established that at the Co/Ge interfacean intermediate magnetic layer forms. Twophases of cobalt, one is a face-centered cubic phase and the other ispresumably a Co–Ge alloy with a weakly ferromagnetic order, have been found toexist. A “dead” layer no more than 2 nm in thickness is formed at the interface.This layer affects the magnetic behavior andmagnetoresistive effect in the investigated structures.
