Granular thin films of face centered tetragonal (fct) FeCo‐clusters in a γ‐CuCo matrix show a giant magneto resistance effect. Cu 100– x (Fe 50 Co 50 ) x samples with 63 ≤ x ≤ 88 were examined using Mössbauer Spectroscopy, electron microscopy, Magnetoresistance, SQUID and Rutherford Backscattering Spectroscopy. In ultrafine particles with fct‐FeCo imbedded in a CuCo matrix the giant magneto resistance effect is strongly correlated to the ratio of interface/bulk. The magnetic interfaces form an additional scattering centere for the electrons which causes an increase of the GMR effect. (© 2005 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim )
