【 摘 要 】

The giant magnetoresistance effect is calculated for metallic magnetic superlattices with current-in-plane geometry by solving the semiclassical Boltzmann transport equation. Two types of interface roughness will be taken into account, geometrical interface roughness and scattering at defects, impurities, etc. located at the interface. Within this approach, geometrical interface roughness with a finite correlation length is considered. It is shown that geometrical interface roughness, without any other form of spin-dependent scattering, can result in a considerable magnetoresistance.
