    Notes: A Co/Pt multilayer is one of the most attractive candidates for next-generation high-density magneto-optical recording media. With a decreasing Co layer thickness, the direction of the easy axis of magnetization changes from in-plane to out-of-plane. We have measured core-level MCD of Co/Pt multilayers. Six Co/Pt multilayer samples were prepared which had Co layer thicknesses from 3 to 14 A(ring). The MCD experiments were made using circularly polarized undulator radiation.The spectra were taken separately for the energy regions around the Co M2,3 (and Pt O3) and Pt N6,7 (and Pt O2) edges. The dichroic signals in reflectivity were recorded for two opposite directions of an external magnetic field of 2 T. We have also measured the reflectivity spectra down to 4 eV and have made Kramers–Kronig analyses to obtain the dielectric tensor. The dielectric tensor element which represents absorption MCD shows a dramatic change at the Co M2,3 edges. The MCD spectra of thinner Co-layer samples are more asymmetric than those of thicker ones. This shows that the orbital magnetic moment of Co is enhanced as the Co layer thickness decreases. The MCD spectra become sharper and narrower with a decreasing Co layer thickness. This feature strongly reflects a band narrowing of the Co 3d state at or around the Co/Pt interfaces. The MCD spectra at the Pt N6,7 edges show little dependence on the Co layer thickness. This can be explained by assuming that Pt atoms only at the interfaces are responsible for the MCD signals, since the surface density of Pt atoms is equal for all the samples. Combining the result at the Co M2,3 edges with that at the Pt N6,7 edges leads to the conclusion that perpendicular magnetic anisotropy mainly depends on the electronic structure of Co at Co/Pt interfaces and that Pt atoms at the interfaces play a partial role in magnetic anisotropy. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Suppression of the sidetrack reading behavior is important in achieving⋅high track-density recording with a magnetoresistive head. In the present work, we investigate the sensitivity distribution profiles of MR heads through experimentation using a microtrack technique1 and computer simulation. Shielded, soft, adjacent-layer-biased MR heads with 3∼6−μm-wide tracks are used. The ends of the MR elements are coupled to antiferromagnetic or hard ferromagnetic films for domain control. In the simulation based on the Landau–Lifshitz–Gilbert equation,2 the magnetization configurations in the MR elements of the domain stabilizing films are calculated to analyze the sensitivity distribution. The measured sensitivity profiles in all cases have asymmetries that are reversed when the sensing current direction or the magnetization direction of the MR element is reversed. These results agree with the simulation. The asymmetries of sensitivity profiles are explained by the magnetic poles at the domain control film edges and at the transverse edges of the element which generate a diagonal demagnetizing field distribution in the sensing region.

    Notes: We find two different surface structures, (1×2) and (1×1), for H2S-treated InP(001). They depend upon exposure of H2S at about 350 °C. The coverage of sulfur is estimated to be about a half monolayer and one full monolayer for the (1×2) and (1×1) structures, respectively. The (1×1) structure is reconstructed to the (1×2) structure upon annealing at about 550 °C. It is suggested that sulfur is bonded to only In atoms and substitutes some of the phosphorus atoms below the first layer. Inverse photoemission spectra show strong reduction in intensity of 1.2 eV peak above the Fermi level for a clean InP(001)-(4×2) surface upon adsorption of H2S. This reduction implies a decrease in unoccupied surface states due to dangling bonds of indium dimers on the clean surface. The result of adsorption of oxygen on the (1×2) and (1×1) surfaces indicates significant passivation to oxidation of the surfaces. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We have fabricated and studied the structure and magnetic properties of high quality single crystalline (Mn,Zn)Fe2O4, NiFe2O4, and CoFe2O4 films. Although (Mn,Zn)Fe2O4 and NiFe2O4 films grown directly on SrTiO3 and MgAl2O4 show mediocre structural and magnetic properties, these same films grown on SrTiO3 and MgAl2O4 buffered with CoCr2O4 or NiMn2O4 exhibit excellent crystallinity and bulk saturation magnetization values, thus indicating the importance of lattice match and structural similarity between the film and the underlying layer. X ray, Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy analysis provide a consistent picture of the structural properties of these ferrite films. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Amorphous/crystalline bilayers of NiFe2O4 exhibit interlayer magnetic exchange coupling, which results from an interaction between a spin-glass material and a ferrimagnetic material. The observed effect is reminiscent of the well-known exchange coupling effect between an antiferromagnet and a ferromagnet, which is widely used in applications where field biasing of thin magnetic films is desirable. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The chemical state of sulfur on (NH4)2Sx-treated InP(001) surfaces has been studied by high-resolution x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. We find three kinds of chemical states of sulfur (S2p3/2 lines at 161.2, 162.0, and 163.4 eV) on the sample treated at RT. It is suggested that they correspond to sulfur in phosphorus sites (in the second layer of the InP(001) surface), to sulfur bonded to indium on the first layer, and to elemental sulfur on sulfide, respectively. One (S2p3/2=162.0 eV) of them becomes predominant with long-time exposure to atmosphere at RT. Upon annealing the sample at 400 °C, the 163.4 eV line disappears, while the lines at 162.0 and 161.2 eV remain on the surface. A model of the treated surface is presented.

    Notes: Single-crystal bilayers of (magnetically soft) (Mn,Zn)Fe2O4 and (magnetically hard) CoFe2O4 can exhibit nearly ideal exchange anisotropy. This is directly related to the extremely high structural quality that can be achieved by epitaxial growth on appropriate substrates. For example, we use (110)-oriented MgAl2O4 substrates with 100 nm CoCr2O4 buffer layers. The paramagnetic buffer layer provides a close lattice match for the ferrites, and is annealed at about 1000 °C to provide excellent crystallinity. Subsequent growth of the ferrite bilayer is executed at 400 °C, which is high enough to permit growth of highly crystalline epitaxial films, yet low enough to avoid substantial intermixing at the interfaces. Measurements at elevated temperatures (290 K〈T〈1000 K) permit characterization of the exchange anisotropy in regimes of low and moderate crystal anisotropy in the soft layer, as well as directly revealing the blocking temperature and the portion of the overall magnetization contributed by each layer. The results provide additional evidence that the exchange coupling energy across the interface is comparable to that within each layer, and in that sense is nearly ideal. The detailed shapes of the M–H loops are found to be in semiquantitative agreement with micromagnetic theory. ©1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We have fabricated and studied the structure and magnetic properties of high quality single crystalline (La0.7Ca0.3)MnO3 and (La0.7Ba0.3)MnO3 films. Films were grown on SrTiO3 as well as LaAlO3 substrates. (La0.7Ca0.3)MnO3 and (La0.7Ba0.3)MnO3 films grown on SrTiO3 exhibit excellent crystallinity and magnetic properties while those grown on LaAlO3 show mediocre structural and magnetic properties. These differences indicate the importance of lattice match and structural similarity between the film and the substrate. X-ray and Rutherford backscattering analysis provide a consistent picture of the structural properties of these doped manganite films. These films enable us to investigate the crystal anisotropy using vibrating sample magnetometry and torque magnetometry. Multilayers composed of manganite layers with different dopants (e.g., calcium and barium dopants) also have excellent structural properties since there is minimal strain at the interfaces. Such isostructural single crystalline multilayers are essential for investigating exchange coupling of the doped manganites.© 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We have grown epitaxial spinel ferrite thin films of (Mn,Zn) Fe2O4 and CoFe2O4 on (100) and (110) SrTiO3 and MgAl2O4 buffered by spinel structure buffer layers. High quality spinel ferrite films were grown at 400 °C on buffer layers that were grown at 600 °C and postannealed at 1000 °C. Although (Mn,Zn) Fe2O4 grown directly on SrTiO3 and MgAl2O4 shows mediocre structural and magnetic properties, ferrite films grown on (100) and (110) SrTiO3 and MgAl2O4 buffered with CoCr2O4 exhibit excellent crystallinity and bulk saturation magnetization values, thus indicating the importance of lattice match and structural similarity between the film and the immediately underlying layer. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Thermal expansions of the lattice parameters a and c of the system in the title have been measured by x-ray diffraction technique to investigate the nature of magnetic interactions as well as chemical bond in these systems. Our data reveals that a spontaneous magnetostriction caused by the Co–Co intrasublattice interaction in YCo4B (n=1) occurs in the c plane unlike YCo5 whose magnetostriction occurs only along the c axis. It is also found that the positive spontaneous magnetostriction of GdCo4B in the c plane can be divided into three contributions due to the Co–Co, Co–Gd, and Gd–Gd interactions in the crystal. Thermal expansion coefficients in the c plane in the paramagnetic temperature region strongly decrease with increasing n in the Gd system. This implies a significant covalent bonding in the R–B layer in the present compounds. These results are discussed on the basis of the results of energy band calculation together with the previous magnetic data. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.
