Abstract:	A dual-synthetic antiferromagnet (DSyAF) structure of Co90 Fe10 Ru Co90 Fe10 Ru Co90 Fe10 is studied. Compared with a conventional synthetic antiferromagnet (SyAF) of Co90 Fe10 Ru Co90 Fe10, the DSyAF has higher saturation magnetic field and lower saturation magnetization. Moreover, the DSyAF shows good thermal stability after annealing at 300 °C for 1 h. We also fabricate current-in-plane spin valves with the SyAF or the DSyAF as the pinned layer and demonstrate that using the DSyAF as a pinned layer enhances giant magnetoresistance at room temperature. © 2008 American Institute of Physics.
