Abstract
We show that a simple two-current model gives good predictions of the low-temperature perpendicular (CPP) specific resistances, (A=sample area, =sample resistance), of sputtered Co/Cu/Py/Cu (Py=≊permalloy) multilayers with neighboring Co and Py layers in well-defined parallel (P) or antiparallel (AP) magnetic states, using only parameters derived without adjustment from prior measurements on Co/Cu and Py/Cu multilayers.
