Developments in surface magneto-optical Kerr effect setup for ultrahigh vacuum analysis of magnetic ultrathin films
We describe a surface magneto-optical Kerr effect sSMOKEd setup designed to study the magnetic properties of ultrathin films in ultrahigh vacuum sUHVd. As in earlier systems, a crossed-poles electromagnet is used, which allows measurements in the longitudinal or polar configurations to be carried out without displacing the sample or changing the optical path. The poles are mounted in-vacuum, wh...
متن کاملSpin proximity effect in ultrathin superconducting Be-Au bilayers.
We present a detailed study of the effects of interface spin-orbit coupling on the critical field behavior of ultrathin superconducting Be/Au bilayers. Parallel field measurements were made in bilayers with Be thicknesses in the range of d=2-30 nm and Au coverages of 0.5 nm. Though the Au had little effect on the superconducting gap, it produced profound changes in the spin states of the system...
متن کاملMagnetic properties of ultrathin Co / Ag / Ge ( 1 1 1 ) films studied using surface magneto - optic Kerr effect technique
Co/Ag/Ge (1 1 1) films show an in-plane anisotropy as deposited at 200K. The ferromagnetic inactive layers, formed due to the intermixing of Co and Ge, can be efficiently reduced to zero thickness by introducing 6 monolayer (ML) Ag as a buffer layer. For Co/3ML Ag/Ge (1 1 1) films, the amount of Ag is not enough to separate Co and the Ge substrate. This results in the formation of a 2-monolayer...
متن کاملExchange Anisotropy in Epitaxial and Polycrystalline NiO/NiFe Bilayers
(001) oriented NiO/NiFe bilayers were grown on single crystal MgO (001) substrates by ion beam sputtering in order to determine the effect that the crystalline orientation of the NiO antiferromagnetic layer has on the magnetization curve of the NiFe ferromagnetic layer. Simple models predict no exchange anisotropy for the (001)-oriented surface, which in its bulk termination is magnetically com...
متن کاملRotation of the pinning direction in the exchange bias training effect in polycrystalline NiFe/FeMn bilayers.
For polycrystalline NiFe/FeMn bilayers, we have observed and quantified the rotation of the pinning direction in the exchange bias training and recovery effects. During consecutive hysteresis loops, the rotation of the pinning direction strongly depends on the magnetization reversal mechanism of the ferromagnet layer. The interfacial uncompensated magnetic moment of antiferromagnetic grains may...
