Abstract
Ultrathin epitaxial FCC-Co films, which form part of a spin-valve structure, were found to undergo one- or two-jump magnetic switching, in GMR and MOKE measurements depending upon the field orientation. The transitions are mediated by the propagation of 180° or 90° domain walls. The Co two-jump spin switching in the spin-valve structure has contributed to the formation of three stable GMR states: parallel, antiparallel and a new intermediate state.
