Hague Laboratoire de Chimie Physique?Matière et Rayonnement (UMR 7614), Université Pierre et Marie Curie, F-75231 Paris Cedex 05, France Vincent Cros and Frédéric Petroff Unité Mixte de Physique CNRS/THALES, Domaine de Corbeville, F-91404 Orsay Université Paris Sud, F-91405 Orsay, France (Received 6 March 2002; accepted 4 September 2002) We have used resonant scattering of polarized soft x rays as a direct probe of the magnetic order in a weakly coupled Co/Cu multilayer. Our field dependent results, combined with in situ resistance measurements, show a direct correlation between magnetoresistance and antiparallel magnetic ordering in reversible and irreversible processes. ©2002 American Institute of Physics. doi: 10.1063/1.1517403 PACS: 75.70.Pa, 75.70.Cn, 75.50.Ee, 78.70.Ck Additional Information ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Full Text: [ HTML Sectioned HTML PDF (49 kB) GZipped PS ] Order ------------------------------------------------------------------------ References Citation links [e.g., Phys.
