A hybrid film with a superconductor Nb (20 nm) layer and a giant magnetoresistance-spin valve (GMR-SV) NiFe (10 nm)/CoFe (4 nm)/Cu (2.5 m)/CoFe (6 nm)/IrMn (10 nm)/Ta (5 nm) multilayer were prepared on Corning glass by using ion beam deposition and dc magnetron sputtering. The exchange-biased coupling field ($H_{ex}$) and the magnetoresistance (MR) ratio of a hybrid-type GMR-SV film with a Nb buffer layer were above of 185 Oe and 5%, respectively. We suggest that GMR ratio, depending on the magnetization spin array of the pinned and the free layers, can show a very high negative value on the basis of the proximity effect at the interface between the ferromagnetic metal and the Nb superconductor.

이온빔 증착 시스템과 DC 마그네트론 스퍼터링 시스템을 이용하여 코닝유리 기판 위에 초전도체 Nb 박막과 거대 자기 저항 스핀밸브 (giant magnetoresistance–spin valve, GMR-SV) NiFe (10 nm)/CoFe (4 nm)/Cu (2.5 m)/CoFe (6 nm)/IrMn (10 nm)/Ta (5 nm) 다층 박막을 적층하여 시료를 제조하였다. Nb (20 nm) 버퍼층과 계면을 이루는 GMR-SV형 하이브리드 다층 박막의 교환 결합 세기와 자기 저항비는 각각 185 Oe, 5%이었다. 금속과 Nb 초전도체간의 근접 효과를 바탕으로, 강자성체 고정층과 자유층의 자화 스핀배열에 따라 GMR-SV의 자기 저항비가 매우 크게 변할 수 있음을 제시하였다.
