Low frequency magnetic response in antiferromagnetically coupled Fe/Cr multilayers.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The magnetic field and temperature dependence of the low frequency magnetic response of antiferromagnetically coupled Fe/Cr(100) multilayers has been studied between +/-500 Oe, from 2 to 300 K. At T = 2 K the losses exhibit an unusually strong frequency dependence which can be described within a single relaxation time scheme. This relaxation time proves to be strongly field dependent. These phenomena are specific for epitaxial multilayers with large magnetoresistance. The behavior of the relaxation time at low temperatures might be related to some quantum tunneling processes.

The magnetic field and temperature dependence of the low-frequency ( fo104 HzÞ inand out-of-phase magnetic response of antiferromagnetically coupled Fe/Cr(1 0 0) shows that at T > 100K both the real ðw0Þ and imaginary ðw00Þ parts of the susceptibility exhibit hysteretic dependence on the magnetic field with maxima of w00ðHÞ at HE725Oe.

For antiferromagnetically coupled epitaxial 1⁄2Fe=Crð0 0 1Þ 10 multilayers we detected a strong enhancement of the magnetism-related electrical noise in the vicinity of the orientation transition between the easy and hard axes. Our measurements are performed at different temperatures and we also identified the noise caused by depinning of domain walls (DWs). We are able to detect and follow in ...

The temperature dependence of the saturation magnetization of Xe ion-beam sputtered Fe–Cr multilayers has been measured between 5 and 300 K in the presence of a field greater than the saturation field sHsatd. With the application of Hsat, the zero-field antiferromagnetically coupled ferromagnetic Fe layers are forced to align ferromagnetically. We find that the thermal demagnetization of such m...
