Compared to platinum-group metal systems (PGMs), the PGMs-free Co/Ni-system offers several advantages for spin-based devices such as low damping and high spin polarization, and they contribute to a more sustainable future by relieving the demand for strategic raw materials. In this work, flexible synthetic-antiferromagnets with perpendicular-magnetic-anisotropy (PMA-SAFs) and GMR-spin-valves (SVs) containing a SAF-reference electrode and a Co/Ni-free layer were deposited on flexible polyethylene naphthalate tapes with different combinations of buffer and capping layers (Pt, Pd, Cu/Ta). High-quality SAFs with a fully compensated antiferromagnetic region and SVs with a sizeable GMR ratio were obtained. The best performances are achieved with PGMs used as buffer layer and Cu as capping layer[1]. The results indicate that complex Co/Ni-based heterostructures with reduced content of PGMs deposited on flexible tapes allow for the development of novel shapeable and sustainable spintronic devices.
