Magnetic superlattices and multilayers

چکیده
We brie#y review the active areas of current research in magnetic superlattices, emphasizing later years. With recent widening use of advanced technologies, more emphasis has been made on quantitative atomic level chemical and structural characterization. Examples where the multilayer structure has been controlled, characterized and correlated with the physical properties are discussed. The physical properties are categorized according to the complexity of a structure needed to observe a particular e!ect. We outline a number of general important unsolved problems, which could considerably bene"t from theoretical and experimental input. An extensive list of magnetic multilayer materials is provided, with references to recent publications. ( 1999 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Oscillations of the transport properties in Ni /Co superlattices
Although metallic multilayers have recently attracted much attention, especially since the discovery of giant magnetoresistance in Fe /Cr multilayers [1], only a small number of true superlattice effects have been experimentally observed. These are the appearance of superlattice Bragg peaks in X-ray diffraction [2], the collective behavior of magnons in magnetic/non-magnetic superlattices [3], ...
متن کاملMagnetic 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. ...
متن کاملInterlayer Exchange Coupling in Semiconductor EuS–PbS Ferromagnetic Wedge Multilayers
Antiferromagnetic interlayer coupling between ferromagnetic layers of EuS via nonmagnetic PbS spacer layer was experimentally studied in EuS– PbS wedge multilayers grown on KCl (001) substrates with EuS thickness of 6 nm and PbS thickness varying in the wedges in the range 0.3–6 nm (i.e. n = 1−20 monolayers). Measurements of magnetic hysteresis loops of EuS–PbS multilayers performed in the temp...

a-axis-oriented planes perpendicular to the substrates) and multilayers have been grown by dc sputtering on (100) susbstrates and characterized by the refinement of the structure from x-ray spectra. The results show that interfacial structure (thickness fluctuations, interdiffusion, etc.) of the a axis are similar to the c-axis oriented superlattices. The angular dependence of the resistivity i...
متن کاملLarge magnetoresistance with low saturation fields in magnetic/magnetic superlattices
Ni/Co multilayers grown by molecular beam epitaxy are found to exhibit a magnetoresistance AR/R at liquid helium temperature as large as 8.2%, with saturation fields AH-22 Oe and a sensitivity (AR/R)/(2AH)=O. 19% Oe-‘. The highest room temperature sensitivity obtained to date in this system is 0.18% Oe-’ and at 4.2 K is 0.29% Oe-‘. This demonstrates that high values of the sensitivity can be ac...
