In the following we present the role of surface scattering at Au/Co and Au/Ni-Fe interfaces in Ni-Fe/Au/Co/Au multilayers deposited in different temperatures. Specularity parameter, which describes the electron scattering, is calculated from fitting in situ collected conductance data with the Fuchs-Namba-Tesanovic model. Application of the parallel resistors model enabled to depict changes between Au/Co and Au/Ni-Fe interfaces within multilayers for each repetition. The correlation between enhanced grain boundary scattering for higher deposition temperatures and surface roughness of Ni-Fe/Au/Co/Au multilayers is found.
