Mechanisms by which oxygen acts as a surfactant in giant magnetoresistance film growth

The mechanisms by which oxygen acts as a surfactant in giant magnetoresistance multilayers have been elucidated for the first time. Three-dimensional atom probe analysis of Cu/CoFe multilayers reveals the elemental distributions at the atomic level. Interfacial intermixing and oxygen impurity levels...
