Abstract:
Single-crystal Co(<11(2)over bar 0>)/Cr(100) superlattices (SLs) have been successfully grown on MgO (100) and Al2O3 (<1(1)over bar 02>) substrates with 100 Angstrom Mo as buffer layers by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). Excellent epitaxial growth was evidenced by reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED). Magneto-resistance (MR) measurements have been performed using a conventional four-point technique. We have observed negative MR (NMR approximate to 4.8%) for [Co(40 Angstrom)/Cr(5 Angstrom)](70) SLs, giant positive MR (PMR approximate to 30%) for [Co(5(Co))/Cr(5 Angstrom)](100) SLS. It is likely that the NMR effect is introduced by the Co/Cr SL while PMR is induced by the Mo buffer layers. Interestingly, PMR samples show a distinct roughness effect compared to NMR samples. Systematically we have found that NMR increases with increasing interfacial roughness, while PMR samples show the opposite behavior.
