Magnetic properties of electrodeposited Fe/Au(1 1 1) layers: in situ AGFM measurements
نویسنده
چکیده
The magnetization state of electrodeposited Fe/Au(1 1 1) layers is investigated during the growth using in situ alternating gradient force magnetometry. It is shown that perpendicular magnetization anisotropy occurs as long as the thickness t (2ML. The e!ect of depositing Cu on top is also studied. Results are compared to those obtained with MBE layers and discussed in the light of preliminary STM investigations of Fe growth. 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Effect 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...
متن کاملCHARACTERIZATION OF CO-FE MAGNETIC FILMS FABRICATED BY GALVANO-STATIC ELECTRODEPOSITION
In this research, nanocrystalline Co-Fe coatings were electrodeposited on copper substrate. The influence of current density on different properties of the films at two pH levels was investigated. All the coatings showed nodular structure with rougher morphology at higher current densities. Due to anomalous deposition at higher current density, the amount of iron content increased and reached i...
متن کاملStructural, magnetic, and electronic properties of Fe/Au monatomic multilayers.
An Fe/Au monatomic multilayer, consisting of alternating single Fe and Au layers, has been studied by means of the self-consistent full-potential linearized augmented plane wave method. We show by total energy minimization that this artificial thin film is in the tetragonal L10 ordered structure with the ratio of the interlayer spacing to the intralayer lattice constant at 0.865. In this config...

In this paper, the effect of magnetic field on the morphology, structure and magnetic properties of electrodeposited FeCu/Cu thin films was investigated. The films were deposited on Au2PdAg/glass substrates using electrodeposition technique in potentiostatic control. The magnetic fields of 5000 and 7000 Oe were applied on deposition bath during deposition. Two series of thin films were prepared...

Fe(0 0 1) thin films (70 ( A) with Fe(7.2 ( A) tracer layers at the interface were epitaxially grown on GaAs(4 6) surfaces. Magneto-optic Kerr effect and Ferromagnetic resonance measurements indicate a dominant 2-fold in-plane magnetic anisotropy (easy axis along [1 1 0]) superimposed to a 4-fold anisotropy, and small coercivity (B10Oe). M . ossbauer (CEMS) measurements indicate no magnetic ‘‘d...
