We demonstrate pseudo spin valves with a (112)-textured DO_22 MnGa (MnGa) tilted magnetization fixed layer and an in-plane CoFe free layer. Single D0_22 MnGa films exhibit a small magnetoresistance (MR) typically observed in metals. In MnGa/Cu/ CoFe spin valves a transition from a negative (-0.08%) to positive (3.88%) MR is realized by introducing a thin spin polarizing CoFe insertion layer at the MnGa/Cu interface and tailoring the MnGa thickness. Finally, the exchange coupling between the MnGa and CoFe insertion layer is studied using a first-order reversal curve (FORC) technique.
