Magnetic hysteresis of [NiFe/Au/Co/Au]N multilayers displaying giant magnetoresistance was analyzed by using micromagnetic simulation. It was found that magnetostatic fields of stripe domains in Co layers, with a perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, lead to a replication of those domains in a magnetic configuration of NiFe layers possessing an in-plane shape anisotropy. It was shown that a local minimum of resistance versus an external magnetic field is a signature of the domain replication in systems with alternating perpendicular and the in-plane anisotropies.
