摘要

Top spin valves of NiFe/Cu/NiFe/FeMn/Ta with a Ta or Cu underlayer were investigated. Measurements showed a substantial magnetoresistance ratio for samples with either type of underlayer. The sensitivity of spin valves, defined as the slope of the magnetoresistance curve between 10 and 90 of the giant magnetoresistance ratio, was much greater for the Ta than for the Cu underlayer. This difference in sensitivity is attributed to magnetization reversal of the free layer (NiFe) directly deposited on the underlayer. Investigation of the surface microstructure and composition of Ta and Cu/NiFe bilayers indicated that Cu atoms, which possess lower surface free energy than the other elements in the bilayers, float out to the surface of NiFe free layer and are responsible for the lower sensitivity of the spin valve. Therefore, by choosing underlayer material with suitable surface free energy, top spin valves with high sensitivity can be realized.
