We investigated the anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) effects in ferromagnetic-metal multi-layers stacked on non-magnetic insulators in the context of microscopic theory. We represented this situation with tight-binding models that included the exchange and Rashba fields, where the Rashba field was assumed to originate from spin–orbit interactions as junction effects with the insulator. To describe the AMR ratios, the DC conductivity was calculated based on the Kubo formula. As a result, we showed that the Rashba field induced both perpendicular and in-plane AMR effects and that the perpendicular AMR effect rapidly decayed with increasing film thickness.
