Abstract
The change in resistivity due to the dual spin-valve effect (DSV) arises from the relative angle between the magnetization directions of the two pinned layers and a free layer. The enhanced GMR ratio has been explained in terms of the specular scattering of conduction electron at the metal/insulator interface of top and bottom surfaces. In this work, the GMR profiles were measured in a sample of NiO/NiFeCo/Cu/NiFeCo/Cu/NiFeCo/NiO in the field range of -1 kOe to 1 kOe at an angle θ=0° and 90°, respectively, where θ is the angle from the direction of annealing field. The measured GMR profiles were compared with the calculation using the extended triple domain model.
