Abstract (EN): Structural, magnetic and transport properties of granular CoxCu1-x (x = 0.11-0.45) films prepared by e-beam co-evaporation, were studied. Scanning tunneling microscopy showed the surface crystallites having an elongated shape. Magnetization and FMR data indicated a large in-plane uniaxial anisotropy in all the samples. A correlation between the orientation of the surface crystallites and the anisotropy easy axis has been found. Magnetoresistance in the fields up to 0.5 T is strongly different for transverse and longitudinal geometries.
