摘要: The magnetotransport properties of single crystal trilayers 60 A Co2MnGe/NM/30 A Co2MnGe where NM is a nonmagnetic spacer material has been studied. samples were grown by molecular beam epitaxy on GaAs (001) substrates. 2 to 1 ratios in thickness the layers allows for easy determination which ferromagnetic have switched during magnetometry measurements. weak 90° coupling observed with either Mn or V layer. In these coupled films giant magnetoresistance type less than 1% measured at room temperature.
