We measured the dependence of the giant magnetoresistance on the thickness of the magnetic layers for a magnetic multilayer comprising two types of magnetic layers, oriented in the CPP mode (current perpendicular to the plane of the layers). The thickness dependence was found to be very different for thin and thick multilayers and for the interleaved and the separated configurations. An explanation for these differences is presented.
