Quantitative interpretation of the magnetoresistive response (amplitude and shape) of spin valves with synthetic antiferromagnetic pinned layers.

Presents information on a study which described an analytical calculation of the magnetoresistive (MR) response of spin-valve structures with synthetic antiferromagnetic pinned (AP) layer. Semiclassical calculation of the giant MR amplitude in spin valves with synthetic AP layers; Results and discussion; Conclusions.
