Abstract Co 90 Fe 10 /Cu/Co 90 Fe 10 /Ir 25 Mn 75 spin-valves with a Ta seed layer were prepared by ion beam sputtering. Improvements in magnetoresistive (MR) and magnetic properties were obtained by adding H 2 to Xe sputtering gas. Specifically, the coercivity in the free Co 90 Fe 10 layer considerably decreased as the H 2 flow rate was increased. Furthermore, exchange coupling between the Ir 25 Mn 75 and pinned Co 90 Fe 10 layers became stronger in the preparation under the higher H 2 flow rate. X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and secondary ion mass spectroscopy observations suggest that micro-crystallization of each layer is responsible for improving the MR and magnetic properties.
