Magneto-optical Spectra in Pt-Ni Alloys and 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

Relativity and Magnetism in Ni-Pd and Ni-Pt Alloys

We show that the differences in the magnetic properties of Ni-Pd and Ni-Pt alloys arise mainly due to relativity. In particular, we find that the local magnetic moment of Ni increases with the addition of Pd in Ni-Pd while it decreases with the addition of Pt in Ni-Pt, as found experimentally, only if relativity is present. Our analysis is based on the effects of relativity on (i) the spin-pola...

Magnetic and magneto-optic properties of sputtered Co/Ni multilayers

Magnetic and magneto-optic properties of sputtered Co/Ni multilayers" (1994). Roger Kirby Publications. Paper 17. We have investigated the magnetic and magneto-optic properties of Co/N multilayers deposited on Ag and Au buffer layers. The samples with Au buffer layers show perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, but those with Ag buffer layers do not. The. structure and degree of crystaIIine alignme...

Magneto-optical Kerr rotation spectra in ordered and disordered phases of Fe-Pt alloy films

The magneto-optical Kerr rotation (0,) spectra and the related properties have been measured in ordered and disordered phases of several kinds of Fe-R alloy films. The / 0, 1 in as-deposited (disordered) films becomes gradually larger with increasing Fe content until about SO at% Fe, but the shape of 0 k spectra does not change so much. After annealing, however, all the 0, spectra were changed....
