Abstract: The resistivity of sputtered Ru, the spin-diffusion length in Ru layers, the interface specific resistances of Cu/Ru and Co/Ru interfaces and the spin-scattering anisotropy at Co/Ru interfaces are examined. Due to the two additional Co/Ru interfaces, the total AR increased by ~1 f omega m(super 2).
