Structural and magnetic properties of Cu/Co and Au/Co multilayers
نویسنده
چکیده
The structural and magnetic properties of Cu//Co and Au//Co multilayers are studied by X-ray absorption spectroscopy. The results of EXAFS measurements show that thin cobalt layers in Cu /Co and Au /Co multilayers have a different structure imposed by the mismatch with Cu (2%) and Au (14%). The most interesting results for Cu/Co multilayers are provided by magnetic circular X-ray dichroism (MCXD) measurements. The presence of an MCXD signal at the Cu K edge indicates the presence of a p-band moment on copper.

Magnetic Properties and Structural Study of Ni-Co/Cu Multilayers Prepared by Electrodeposition Method
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. ...

The aim of this work is to investigate the effects of 593 MeV Au irradiation using two different projectile charges, namely Au and Au on the structural, transport and magnetization properties of Co/NiFe/Co/Cu multilayers. X-Ray diffraction and extended x-ray absorption fine structures measurements show no significant structural change for as deposited and irradiated multilayers. On the other ha...

Structural and electronic properties of double perovskites Sr2BWO6 (B = Co, Ni, Cu) were studied for each of three magnetic configurations nonmagnetic, ferromagnetic, and antiferromagnetic by using density functional theory in generalized gradient approximations (GGA) and strong correlation correction (GGA + U). Due to magnetic transition from antiferromagnetic to nonmagnetic phase, an electr...
متن کاملEffect of Cobalt Concentration on Structural and Magnetic Properties of Co-Fe Thin Films
Co-Fe films were electrodeposited on Cu substrate from electrolytes with different Co concentration levels. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to investigate the films crystal structures. The results indicate that if the Co concentration is less that the Fe concentration, the cubic structure appears in the films, while the hexagonal structure dominates when the C...
