| Magnetic multilayers with a new type of structural modification were prepared by ultrahigh vacuum deposition onto substrates with V-shaped microgrooves and used as the samples for the following two novel studies: One is the study of giant magnetoresistance in a new geometry, CAP, where the electric current is at a certain angle to interfaces. Enhancement of magnetoresistance in CAP geometry, in comparison to the normal current in-plane magnetoresistance, was confirmed. The other is the study of magnetic thin wires, which were prepared by depositing in a tilted direction to the surface. A preliminary result of magnetization reversal investigation is presented. |
