a Self spin-valve effect for the current perpendicular to the domain plane (CPP) configuration at 1.5 K. b Self spin-valve effect for the current in domain plane (CIP) configuration at 1.5 K. c Temperature evolution of the magnetoresistance (MR) magnitudes. Solid circles represent the maximal MR size whereas the open circles compare the unpolarized, zero-field-cooled (ZFC) resistivity to the minimal resistivity under external fields. Inset shows temperature dependence of the hysteresis field ΔH between the sweep-up and down branches. d Upper panels: Sample configurations for field H rotating away from the current in the ca plane and perpendicular to the current, respectively. Lower panels: Corresponding angular dependence of GMR size and ΔH.
