Abstract

Using current-perpendicular-to-plane (CPP) magnetoresistance measurements, we derive values of twice the enhanced interface resistance, 2AR _F/N*, and the interface scattering asymmetry, γ_F/N, for the ferromagnetic/non-magnetic (F/N) pairs Ni/Ru and Co₉₀Fe₁₀Cu. For Ni/Ru, we find 2AR_Ni/Ru*= 1.7_-0.3^+0.4 Ω², similar to the value for Fe/Cr, but we estimate γ_Ni/Ru=0.15\pm 0.03, much smaller than the value for Fe/Cr or the asymmetry found for Ni(Ru) alloys. For Co ₉₀Fe₁₀ we find 2AR_CoFe/Cu*=1.1\pm 0.2 and γ_CoFe/Cu=0.8\pm 0.1 , both similar to the values for Co/Cu.
