Magnetic Properties of Multilayer Thin Film with Ising-Like Ordering

Magnetic Thin Film Characterization

An improvement on the fabrication of magnetic thin films is currently on a level of intense research as these films are of great interest in the device industry. Some of these thin films posses high permeability and ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) frequency in the GHz range which are suitable for electromagnetic use. Methods for fabricating these films include sputtering, pulse laser deposition (...

Multilayer thin-film structures with high spatial dispersion.

We demonstrate how to design thin-film multilayer structures that separate multiple wavelength channels with a single stack by spatial dispersion, thus allowing compact manufacturable wavelength multiplexers and demultiplexers and possibly beam-steering or dispersion-control devices. We discuss four types of structure--periodic one-dimensional photonic crystal superprism structures, double-chir...

Magnetic Properties of Exchange-Biased Multilayer With Perpendicular Magnetic Anisotropy

Perpendicular exchange-biased and multilayers have been fabricated, changing the thickness of the cobalt that is next to the IrMn layer. The crystal structure, interface roughness and magnetic properties were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray reflectivity (XRR), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and extraordinary Hall Effect (EHE). The multilayers are flat, and the roughness is about ...
