Giant Magnetoresistance and Coercivity of electrodeposited multilayered FeCoNi/Cu and CrFeCoNi/Cu

► Multilayered CrFeCoNi/Cu nanowires were electrodeposited at room temperature from a single bath electrolyte. ► Magnetic properties such as Giant Magnetoresistance (GMR) and Coercivity, essential features for magnetic sensors, were studied. ► Addition of Cr influenced both the GMR and the Coercivity. ► Low saturation field current vertical to the plane (CPP-GMR) nanowires showing low coercivity.
