Calculation of CPP-and CIP-magnitoresistance in multilayer magnetic structures

Abstract

A Monte Carlo simulation of magnetic properties for structures Fe/Cr/Fe and Co/Cu/Co, constructed from two ferromagnetic films divided by nonmagnetic film are carried out. The calculation of the magnetoresistance is carried out in case of CPP and CIP geometry for different thicknesses of the ferromagnetic films with the use of the anisotropic Heisenberg model for determination of magnetic properties. It was shown, that the obtained temperature dependence for the magnetoresistance agrees very well with experimental results.
