Abstract
Electrodeposition of CuCoNi alloys was performed in an acid-citrate medium. Nickel density parameter was varied in order to analyse its influence on the magnetoresistance. The structure and giant magneto-resistance (GMR) effect of CuCoNi alloys have been investigated. The maximum value for GMR ratio, at room temperature is 1% at a field of 12 kOe, and at 20 K is 2.1% at a field of 8.5 kOe for 3.1 Ni. The MR ratio of Cu100-y-x CoyNix alloys first increases and then decreases monotonically with increasing Ni content. The GMR and its dependence on magnetic field and temperature were discussed.
