Abstract: Giant magnetothemopower (GMT) and giant magnetoresistance (GMR) in Co/Cu(111) superlattices grown by molecular beam epitaxy were investigated. The results showed that GMT had a maximum value of 14% for a Cu thickness of 9 angstroms. The maximum GMR was measured at -26% at a thickness of 7 angstroms. In addition, oscillations of approximately 10 angstroms in the remnant magnetization and the saturation field were present.
