摘要： In this paper the quantum size effect in giant magnetoresistance of magnetic superlattices is studied. The electrons are considered to be confined in a set of quantum wells, which are different for the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic ordering in magnetic superlattices. The oscillation of giant magnetoresistance with increasing thickness of the nonmagnetic spacer layer is explained. It is shown that the influence of quantum size effects on the giant magnetoresistance of magnetic superlattices is considerable.
