Realization of high quality epitaxial current- perpendicular-to-plane giant magnetoresistive pseudo spin-valves on Si(001) wafer using NiAl buffer layer

In this letter, we report a NiAl buffer layer as a template for the integration of epitaxial current-perpendicular-plane-giant magnetoresistive (CPP-GMR) devices on a Si(001) single crystalline substrate. By depositing NiAl on a Si wafer at an elevated temperature of 500 °C, a smooth and epitaxial B...
