    Notes: The degree of compensation of a normally uncompensated Cr(001) surface is controlled by using a curved substrate with steps parallel to the [100] direction. In this way, the degree of frustration caused by steps at the interface between an Fe overlayer and the Cr substrate can be systematically varied. Previous work on flat Cr(001) at temperatures below the Cr ordering temperature (311 K) has identified a critical Fe thickness of ∼35–38 Å, below which the Fe films display a reduced remanence. For our curved Cr substrate, below this critical Fe thickness three phases are observed for low (〈∼2.5°), intermediate and high (〉∼5°) miscut angle respectively: (i) multidomain; (ii) single domain with magnetization perpendicular to the step edges; and (iii) single domain with magnetization parallel to the step edges. At the same temperature, for Fe films above the critical thickness, region (i) disappears and only regions (ii) and (iii) remain. In a second experiment, the adsorption of submonolayer Au on the Fe is observed to increase the strength of the step-induced anisotropy and accordingly vary the position of the transition from regions (ii) to (iii). © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Step-induced magnetic anisotropy in Co/stepped Cu(001) as a function of step density and Cu step decoration (1999)

    Notes: The step-induced in-plane uniaxial magnetic anisotropy of fcc Co/stepped Cu(001) was investigated using a curved substrate to provide a continuous range of vicinal angles from 0° to 6°. The anisotropy strength was found to depend linearly on the step density, indicating that the biaxial strain does not make a significant contribution to the step-induced anisotropy. Using a side growth geometry to decorate the Co step edges with Cu adsorbates, we observed that the step-induced anisotropy strength approaches zero at roughly 0.7 atomic rows of Cu, independent of step density. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Magnetic coupling in Co/face-centered-cubic Fe/Co sandwiches : The 40th annual conference on magnetism and magnetic materials (1996)

    Notes: Ferromagnetic (FC) and antiferromagnetic coupling (AFC) of Co layers across a metastable fcc Fe spacer layer has been observed. Room-temperature-grown Fe on Co/Cu(100) was chosen as a spacer layer because it exhibits three distinct structural and magnetic phases depending on the thickness range: fct and ferromagnetic (region I), fcc and nonferromagnetic (region II), bcc and ferromagnetic (region III) (listed in order of increasing thickness). Co/Fe/Co sandwiches were grown on Cu(100) by molecular beam epitaxy with a base pressure of ∼2×10−10 Torr, and characterized by low-energy electron diffraction and reflection high-energy electron diffraction. The magnetic properties were studied in situ using surface magneto-optic Kerr effect. Using a wedged Fe spacer layer, we investigated the magnetic coupling between Co films across many thicknesses of Fe. We found FC in region I, strong AFC at the boundary between regions I and II, and weak AFC in region II. We also studied the effect of just the Co overlayer on the metastable fcc Fe. We find that Co/Fe/Cu(100) differs qualitatively from Fe/Co/Cu(100). Finally, we find an oscillation in the AFC with a periodicity of ∼12 A(ring) by artificially increasing the thickness range of region II. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Structural and magnetic properties of face-centered-cubic Fe films grown on Co(100) : The 40th annual conference on magnetism and magnetic materials (1996)

    Notes: A rich variety of magnetic and structural properties have been found in fcc Fe films grown on Cu(100). In order to better comprehend the relation between the magnetic and structural properties of fcc Fe, we investigated fcc Fe films grown by molecular beam epitaxy on fcc Co(100). Structural characterization by low-energy electron diffraction and reflection high-energy electron diffraction indicate that the structural properties of fcc Fe films grown on Co(100) at room temperature are very similar to those of fcc Fe on Cu(100), exhibiting three distinct regions (fct, fcc, and bcc), with characteristic reconstructions at the boundaries. Magnetic measurements with in situ surface magneto-optic Kerr effect (SMOKE) reveal in-plane magnetization at room temperature for the three regions. Regions I and III are ferromagnetic, while region II has a small Kerr signal which is constant throughout the region. Cusps in the coercivity of the SMOKE loops are found to correspond to transitions between the three regions. Oxygen absorption experiments performed at room temperature revealed no change in the magnetization of region II, suggesting that the live layers responsible for the magnetic signal in this region are not at the surface. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Role of film roughness and interdiffusion in the formation of nonferromagnetic fcc Fe in the Fe/Co(100) system : The 41st annual conference on magnetism and magnetic materials (1997)

    Notes: The fcc Fe/Cu(100) and Fe/Co(100) systems are characterized by a wide range of magnetic and structural phases. In particular, a nonferromagnetic fcc phase with a live layer has been observed for room temperature growth Fe films in the ∼5–11 ML thickness range. This nonferromagnetic phase is not present for low temperature (∼120 K) grown films even when the film temperature is raised to room temperature. Annealing the film at 475 K, however, will recover the room temperature phase. Two effects that could account for these features are interdiffusion and surface smoothening. In order to determine which of these effects is responsible for the occurrence of the nonferromagnetic phase, we performed experiments on the Fe/Co(100) system to separate these two effects. An artificially roughened sample grown at room temperature exhibits a ferromagnetic phase only. A sample grown at low temperature in which the first few layers are alloyed to simulate interdiffusion also shows the ferromagnetic phase. Experiments in which a few layers of varying thicknesses are grown at room temperature and the rest of the film is grown at low temperature exhibit different magnetic phases depending on the thickness of the room temperature grown layer. These results indicate that film roughness is the main factor that determines whether the nonferromagnetic phase of fcc Fe will be present in the ∼5–11 ML thickness range. ©1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Magnetic properties of ultrathin Fe films grown on stepped W(001) and Pd(001) substrates (1999)

    Notes: In both Fe/W(001) and Fe/Pd(001) systems, the atomic steps induce an in-plane uniaxial magnetic anisotropy with the easy magnetization axis perpendicular to the step edges. The strength of the step-induced anisotropy was found to have a power law dependence on the step density: a quadratic dependence in the Fe/W system but a linear dependence in the Fe/Pd system. In addition, the Curie temperature is found to be higher on the stepped surface in the Fe/Pd system as compared to the flat surface. The enhancement of the Curie temperature is attributed to the step-induced Pd moments which is supported by the increased surface magneto-optic Kerr effect signal on the stepped surface. No such enhancement of either Curie temperature or magnetic moment was observed in the Fe/W system. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.
