Ion beam sputtering (IBS) was used to prepare Co/Cu multilayer films within the first antiferromagnetic coupling range. Several preparation conditions were varied to optimize the giant magnetoresistance effect. We report the improvement of magnetoresistance by changing the sputtering gas from Ar to Xe, by finding an optimal substrate position and ion beam acceleration voltage, and by increasing the...
