Temperature dependence of interlayer coupling and magnetization in amorphous-FeNiB/Ru multilayers
نویسندگان
چکیده
For amorphous-FeNiB (2.0 nm)/Ru multilayers, an oscillatory interlayer coupling is observed with the variation of the Ru spacer thickness. At 0.8 nm thick Ru layer, near the first antiferromagnetic coupling maximum, the energy of the effective interlayer coupling at low temperature T is found to change as a linear function of T: At the same time, the spontaneous magnetization of the samples at low temperature scales as a linear function of T. Therefore, the temperature dependence of the energy of the effective coupling might be controlled by thermal spin waves in the ferromagnetic layers. r 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Oscillatory interlayer exchange coupling and its temperature dependence in [Pt/Co]3/NiO/[Co/Pt]3 multilayers with perpendicular anisotropy.
Interlayer exchange coupling that oscillates between antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic as a function of NiO thickness has been observed in [Pt(5 A)/Co(4 A)](3)/NiO(t(NiO) A)/[Co(4 A)/Pt(5 A)](3) multilayers with out-of-plane anisotropy. The period of oscillation corresponds to approximately 2 monolayers of NiO. This oscillatory behavior is possibly attributed to the antiferromagnetic ordering...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional XY -like amorphous Co68Fe24Zr8/Al70Zr30 multilayers
We present an experimental realization of a magnetic two-dimensional XY system using amorphous materials. The classification of the dimensionality is based on the critical behavior of amorphous Co68Fe24Zr8(d)/Al70O30 (20Å) multilayers, where d = 11 − 16Å. Analysis of the remanent magnetization, the magnetic isotherms, the initial susceptibility, and the magnetic correlation length shows that th...
متن کاملStructure 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...

Ni-Co/Cu multilayers have been grown by electrodeposition method from a single electrolyte (based on Ni(SO4).6H2O, Co(SO4).7H2O, Cu(SO4) and H3BO3) using galvanostatic control on titanium sublayers. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns confirmed the multilayered structure with the nanometer thicknesses. Also, electron diffraction x-ray (EDX) analysis confirmed the purity of deposited samples. ...
