Abstract For antiferromagnetically coupled [Fe/Cr]10 multilayers with Fe(Cr) thickness 30(13.5) Å and 12(12) Å, we found that at low fields the contribution of the domain walls to the resistivity, small rho, GreekDW, is small at room temperature and strongly enhanced at low temperatures. Magnetic force microscopy images clearly reveal the presence of domain walls. In a wide interval above 1.9 K small rho, GreekDW varies as small rho, GreekDW(T)=small rho, GreekDW(0)−ATsmall alpha, Greek with the exponent small alpha, Greeksimilar, equals0.7–1, indicating the possible presence of quantum interference effects in the quasiballistic electron transport through domain walls. Author Keywords: Domain wall; Magnetoresistance—multilayers; Magnetic imaging Article Outline • References Enlarge Image (15K) Fig. 1. Upper inset shows magnetic force microscopy images of [Fe(30 Å)/Cr(13.5 Å)]10 MML taken over the (16×16) small mu, Greekm2 area before and after applying an external magnetic field. The main part of the figure shows the temperature dependence of the resistivity in different magnetic fields. In the left lower inset we have plotted Δsmall rho, GreekDW/nDW(H) as a function of T0.7 for various magnetic fields (here nDW(H) is a parameter which roughly reflects the DW concentration). In the right lower inset we have plotted variation of resistivity small rho, Greek(T,H)−small rho, Greek(T, 4 K) down to 50 mK. References 1. A. Fert et al.. J. Magn. Magn.
