The stability of magnetic thin films is an important issue for their application. In contrast to Co/Pt sandwiches, Co/Pd shows strong changes in the magnetotransport properties over time. Here, over a time span of 600 days, we have investigated the impact of aging on the various magnetoresistance effects present in longitudinal and transverse resistivity of Pd/Co/Pd sandwiches under ambient conditions. Two Co/Pd samples with Co thicknesses of 2 & 7 nm have been prepared via sputtering techniques. The results show strong variations of the MR properties in the first three months followed by a slower change to equilibrium values. However, there are significant differences between both samples reflecting different behavior of Co/Pd systems governed by bulk-like or interface contributions. X-ray reflectivity studies accompanying the MR investigations confirm the aging of the samples and particularly reveal a gradual intermixing of Co and Pd at the interfaces that happens on a time span of several months.
