STRUCTURE AND MAGNETISM OF Fe/Al MULTILAYERED FILMS BY ION BEAM SPUTTERING METHOD
نویسندگان
چکیده
The crystal structure and magnetic properties of Fe/AI multilayered films prepared using the ion beam sputtering method have been investigated. The crystallite orientation and magnetism of Fe layers were found to depend significantly on A1 layer thickness. This resutt may be caused by the crystallographic interaction between Fe and A1 layers.

Structure and magnetism of Fe/Si multilayers grown by ion-beam sputtering.
Ion-beam sputtering has been used to prepare Fe/Si multilayers on a variety of substrates and over a wide range of temperatures. Small-angle x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy experiments show that the layers are heavily intermixed although a composition gradient is maintained. When the spacer layer is an amorphous iron silicide, the magnetic properties of the multilayers ar...
متن کاملGrowth, structure, and magnetism of fcc Fe ultrathin films on Cu„111... by pulsed laser deposition
Ultrathin Fe films on Cu~111! have been grown by pulsed-laser deposition ~PLD! whose instantaneous deposition rate is about six orders of magnitude larger than that of the conventional molecular-beam epitaxy based on thermal deposition ~TD!. Compared to the TD prepared Fe/Cu~111! films, the PLD films have a significantly improved layer-by-layer morphology and a substantially enhanced stability ...
متن کاملStructure and magnetism in nanocrystalline Ca(La)B6 films
Nanocrystalline films of La-doped CaB6 have been fabricated by using a rf-magnetron sputtering. Lattice expansion of up to 6% with respect to the bulk value was observed along the direction perpendicular to the film plane, which arises from the trapping of Ar gas into the film. Large ferromagnetic moment of 3 ∼ 4 μB/La has been observed in some La-doped films only when the lattice expansion rat...
متن کاملInvestigation and Modification of the Magnetism of Epitaxial Fe Structures
In this thesis, the magnetic and structural properties of layered epitaxial film systems and clusters are presented. A main achievement is the investigation of the direct correlation between magnetism and structural or morphological details of ultrathin films. For this purpose, the film structure has been accessed directly by means of surface science methods. The effect of structural changes on...
متن کاملEffect of sputtering pressure-induced roughness on the microstructure and the perpendicular giant magnetoresistance of FeÕCr superlattices
We have studied the connection between structure and magnetism of Fe/Cr superlattices as a function of sputtering pressure. To measure the perpendicular giant magnetoresistance, we have fabricated microstructured Fe/Cr pillars embedded in SiO2 and interconnected with Nb electrodes. Because of the uniform current distribution in the Nb electrodes and the minimization of the superlattice-electrod...
