  - "                  The evolution of the giant magnetoresistance (GMR) effect in
    sputtered combination multilayers (CMLs) of type Py1.8nm//{(Cu1.8nm/Py1.6nm)N/(Cu0.9nm/Py1.6nm)N}y
    with Py (permalloy=Ni81Fe19) has been investigated at room temperature. It is
    shown that the GMR characteristic of these CMLs can be phenomenologically predicted,
    if the physical properties are known, i.e., the GMR effect amplitude, double layer
    conductance, and bilinear and biquadratic antiferromagnetic exchange coupling
    constants of the two underlying {Cu/Py}N base systems at the first (Cu0.9nm) and
    second (Cu1.8nm) antiferromagnetic coupling maximum (AFCM). The GMR characteristic
    of the simplest CML with N=1 is, e.g., determined by averaging the bilinear and
    biquadratic exchange coupling constants of the two base systems. The GMR characteristics
    of CML with N⩾2 are a superposition of that of the underlying {Cu/Py}N base systems
    weighted by the fraction of the corresponding double layer conductance. Furthermore,
    it is demonstrated that the CMLs are interesting from an application point of
    view since they combine the temperature stability of the underlying {Cu/Py}N base
    system at the second AFCM with a larger GMR effect amplitude.\r\n                @eng"
