Abstract: The aim of this study is to confirm inter-layer coupling in giant magnetoresistance (GMR) sandwiches, in which two ferromagnetic components possess different coercivities. In comparison with other GMR materials, the steepest MR change was observed in ion-beam-sputtered NiFe(6 nm)/Cu/Co(5 nm) sandwich layers with weak inter-layer coupling. The steep MR change (> 1%/Oe) possibly results from spin flopping.
