10. Experiments at high fields have been performed using magnetization and magnetoresistance measurements which both agree very well for saturation field values. Moreover, on Co/Rh and Co/Ru samples which exhibit ferromagnetic exchange coupling, the only contribution to the MR curves originates from the anisotropic magnetoresistance saturating at 500 Oe.
