    Notes: The saturation field of sputtered Fe/Nb superlattices oscillates as a function of the Nb thickness with a periodicity of ∼9 A(ring). In contrast to the case of Fe/Cr superlattices, the concurrent magnetoresistance oscillations were found to be very weak. Yet polarized neutron reflection measurements confirm that the Fe/Nb superlattices with high saturation field possess a magnetic ground state of the +−+− type. Neutron and x-ray measurements indicate that, while the crystalline and antiferromagnetic order is well developed along the thickness of the film, the average lateral size of the crystallites (as well as of the magnetic domains) is quite small. This effect (thought to be related to the gross mismatch of the iron and the niobium crystal lattices) may be the cause of the high overall resistance of the material, and its weak dependence on the magnetization.

    Notes: The magneto-optic response of Pt/Co superlattices is simulated to gain insight into the recent experimental findings of favorable information-storage characteristics. Major trends are reproduced qualitatively, and the calculations indicate that the Pt contributes significantly to the short-wavelength polar Kerr signal (at 4 eV). The influences of the wavelength, angle of incidence, component thicknesses, overcoat, and substrate on the rotation, ellipticity, and reflectivity are evaluated.

    Notes: Fe/Mo/Fe and Co/Cu/Co sandwiches were grown by molecular beam epitaxy onto Mo(100) and Cu(100) single crystals, respectively, and characterized by high- and low-energy electron diffraction and in situ surface magneto-optic Kerr-effect measurements. The spacer layer in both case was fabricated to have a wedged shape in order to create a continuous change of the spacer-layer thickness. Oscillatory behavior between ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic coupling was found; and is shown to originate at the interface between the magnetic layer and the spacer layer. For Fe/Mo/Fe, short-period oscillations are observed with a periodicity of ∼3 ML of Mo. Hysteresis loops for antiferromagnetically coupled cases are calculated from a simple model, and the results reproduce the general characteristics observed experimentally.

    Notes: Numerical simulations of the Kerr signals from Cu/Co, Pd/Co, and Pt/Co superlattices show, in general, a scaling of the signal with the amount of Co in the superlattice. Experimentally, however, the signal from Pt/Co superlattices at ∼4 eV is larger than that from bulk Co, despite the lesser total amount of Co. This is due to the magnetization induced in the Pt by the Co. Comparison of the Pd/Co and Pt/Co results with experiment indicates that the magnetization induced in the Pt by the Co plays a more important role in the magneto-optic activity than does the induced magnetization of Pd.

    Notes: Sputtered Fe/Si superlattices were grown to study the magnetic coupling between ferromagnetic Fe layers (30 A(ring) thick) for Si spacer-layer thicknesses (tSi) between 10 and 40 A(ring). The material is ferromagnetical for tSi≤13 A(ring) and antiferromagnetically coupled for 13 A(ring)≤tSi≤17 A(ring). For tSi≥17 A(ring) the Fe layers are uncoupled. X-ray analysis indicates that the system is well layered, but that the crystal structure remains coherent only for tSi≤17 A(ring). These results, along with our Mössbauer investigation, strongly suggest that the Si layer is crystalline for tSi≤17 A(ring), and is silicide in nature. For thicker spacers, Si becomes amorphous. We propose a model of the layering that is consistent with the known properties of Fe silicide.

    Notes: Face-centered cubic (fcc) Fe wedges of 0–12 ML were grown by means of molecular beam epitaxy onto a novel substrate: flat Cu(110) with an oxygen-induced, long-range ordered striped phase, and studied in situ with medium energy electron diffraction (MEED) and the surface magneto-optical Kerr effect (SMOKE). In contrast to Fe growth on either clean or oxygen-saturated Cu(110), the films on the striped substrates retain a layer-by-layer growth mode up to 6–7 ML and are fcc at least up to 12 ML. In addition, satellite peaks were observed on both sides of the MEED (0, 0) streak, indicating a long-range-ordered lateral modulation of the Fe surface. We postulate that the Fe films grow conformally onto the original striped substrate. SMOKE studies show that these fcc Fe wedges are ferromagnetic with an easy axis along the original stripes for Fe thickness 〉4 ML and a remanant magnetization that increases linearly with thickness beyond 4 ML. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We have studied the magnetic stability in exchange-bias and exchange-spring systems during repeated reversal of the pinned layer. The samples were prepared by epitaxial sputter deposition. The exchange-biased system consists of a combination of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic Fe/Cr superlattices. The exchange-spring system is a bilayer structure made of hard Sm–Co and soft Fe ferromagnetic layers. The magnetic properties were investigated using the magneto-optic Kerr effect during repeated reversal of the soft layer magnetization by field cycling up to 107 times. The experimentally observed decay behaviors are discussed in terms of microstructure and spin configuration of the pinning layers. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The effect of magnetic disorder on the magnetization reversal process in thin Co/CoO films has been investigated. The antiferromagnetic CoO layer allows a reversible tuning of the magnetic disorder by simple temperature variation. For temperatures above a critical temperature Tc, we observe a discontinuous magnetization reversal, whereas smooth magnetization loops occur for T〈Tc. Our measurements establish the existence of a disorder-driven critical point in the nonequilibrium phase diagram. In addition, we observe scaling behavior in the vicinity of the critical point and determine the critical exponents to β=0.022±0.006 and βδ=0.30±0.03. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We consider logic device concepts based on our previously proposed spintronics device element whose magnetization orientation is controlled by application of a bias voltage instead of a magnetic field. The basic building block is the voltage-controlled rotation (VCR) element that consists of a four-layer structure—two ferromagnetic layers separated by both nanometer-thick insulator and metallic spacer layers. The interlayer exchange coupling between the two ferromagnetic layers oscillates as a function of applied voltage. We illustrate transistorlike concepts and reprogrammable logic gates based on VCR elements. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.
