Co/Cu discontinuons multilayers were prepared by rf-sputtering method under high sputtering power and then annealed at various temperutures in a high vacuum. The structural, magnetic and transport properties were strongly influenced by the annealing temperature. The annealed samples obviously became discontinuous multilayers.A maximum magnetoresistance ratio of 5.6% was obtained under a relatively low saturation field of about 400 (103/4π)A/m at the optimum annealing temperature of 450℃. When the annealing temperature was increased, the resistivity decreased, and the coercive force and the saturation field increased. The magnetoresistance ratio also depended on the thickness of Co and Cu layers. The magnetic and transport properties were explained on the basis of the discontinuous multilayered structure.

Magnetism and its dependence on annealing temperature for r.f. sputtered Co/Cu multilayers have been investigated. It was found that the easy magnetization axes of the films are paralIel to the substrate and the magnetic properties of both as-sputtered and annealed multilayers are isotropic in the film plane. The coercive field Hc is 4.8 kA/m and the ratio of remanence-tosaturation magnetization Mi/M is about 0.73 for as-sputtered samples. Both Hc and Mr/Ms increase with increasing annealing temperatures, especially when annealing temperatures are higher than 400℃. These experimental results can be interpreted using the ferromagnetic exchange coupling and the pinning theory of the coercivity
