We present a quantum-statistical theory using the Kubo formalism to describe both CIP (current in plane) and CPP (current perpendicular to the plane) giant magnetoresistance (GMR) of thin magnetic sandwiches. It is shown that GMR for both geometries oscillates with the thicknesses of the sandwich's

The current generation of hard-disk drives use giant magnetoresistance (GMR) spin valves as the read-head because the GMR eect is currently the most sensitive way to detect magnetic ยฎelds at submicron length scales and data rates of 10 8 Hz. At present, hard-disk capacities are doubling approximatel
Quantum size effects in electronic transport properties of metallic trilayers are analysed theoretically. It is shown that electron confinement leads to oscillations in electrical resistivity with two different periodicities. The short oscillation period is determined by the appropriate Fermi wavele
