Abstract

A sulphate bath was used to produce typically 5 μm thick electrodeposited NiCu/Cu multilayer foils with up to several thousand repeats. After removing the Ti substrate, the room-temperature magnetoresistance was studied as a function of the ferromagnetic NiCu layer thickness. Giant magnetoresistance was observed, which peaked at about 2% for a NiCu layer thicknesses around 2 to 3 nm.
