Dynamic, In Situ, Magneto-Optical Studies of Co-Pt Multilayers

Novel (Pt/Co/Pt/Ni) multilayers for magneto-optical recording media

The sputter deposited ~Pt/Co/Pt/Ni! multilayer films were studied as possible alternative low Curie temperature multilayers for magneto-optical recording. The Curie temperatures of these multilayers were found to be between 150 and 300 °C, which are much lower than those of Co/Pt multilayers or ~Co,Ni!/Pt multilayers. The coercivities of these multilayers were between 450 and 800 Oe. The Kerr s...

Influence of Co on the Magnetic and Magneto-Optical Properties of Co-Ni/Pt and Co-Ni/Au Multilayers

Magnetic and magneto-optical properties of sputtered Co/Pd multilayers

Co/Pd multilayer thin films consisting of Co layers between 2-25 ,~, and Pd layers of typically 14 A were prepared by rf sputtering. Hysteresis loops and the magnetization were measured parallel and perpendicular to the film plane. From these measurements and torque curves it was found that the muitilayers show a transition of the easy axis from an in-plane to a direction perpendicular to the f...

Layer–resolved optical conductivity of Co |Pt multilayers

The complex optical conductivity tensor is calculated for the Co | Pt multilayer systems by applying a contour integration technique within the framework of the spin–polarized relativistic screened Korringa–Kohn– Rostoker method. It is shown that the optical conductivity of the Co |Pt multilayer systems is dominated by contributions arising from the Pt cap and/or substrate layers.
