We have experimentally studied Nb/Cu₄₁Ni₅₉/nc−Nb/Co/CoO_x superconducting spin-triplet spin-valve structures. Due to the proximity effect between the superconductor and the ferromagnets, these structures show a superconducting transition temperature depending on the magnetic configuration of the ferromagnetic layers. Thus, the transition temperatures depend on the magnetic history of the samples, yielding functionality as spin-valves. We observed characteristic features in the magnetoresistance associated with different types of superconducting spin valve effects. To clarify possible influences of stray field effects from Co, we investigate the magnetoresistance of Nb/Si/Co/CoO_x systems.
