    Notes: We have studied the giant magnetoresistance (GMR) effect and the film structure of Fe/Cu and FeCoNi/Cu multilayers (MLs), where the FeCoNi alloy is in the composition range of the bcc phase. Both MLs show the oscillation of MR ratio similar to each other as a function of the Cu layer thickness. The phase of oscillation is much different from those in Co/Cu and fcc-FeCoNi/Cu MLs. The maximum MR ratios of 6% and 40% were obtained at 77 K, respectively, for (Fe 1.5 nm/Cu 1.4 nm)20 and (Fe56Co30N14 1.5 nm/Cu 1.4 nm)20 MLs. The EXAFS of the Cu K edge as well as the XRD pattern indicates that the structure of the Cu layers changes from bcc-like to fcc phase as their thickness increases. At the Cu thickness of 1.5 nm, the Cu layers, in both MLs, are highly disordered and seem to have a bct structure. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The magnetic and magneto-optical properties have been investigated for ordered (Mn1−xFex)Pt3 alloy (0〈x〈0.6) films, prepared by annealing (Mn-Fe)/Pt multilayer films at 800 °C. The Kerr spectrum of the MnPt3 film had a large negative peak value of −1.18° at 1.24 eV, and showed a small positive peak around 3.2 eV. With increasing Fe content x, the peak value at 1.24 eV decreased in magnitude and the position of the peak shifted towards lower energy side. Furthermore, another peak appeared in the Kerr spectra around 2.3 eV for x〉0.24. The spectral analysis of the diagonal component of dielectric tensor and the off-diagonal component of conductivity tensor showed that all the peaks mentioned above were attributed to interband transitions. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The antiferromagnetic (AF) coupling and magnetoresistance in magnetron-sputtered polycrystalline NiFeCo/Cu superlattices grown on Fe, Cr, or Zr buffer layers have been studied. The results show that the buffer layers significantly affect AF coupling and magnetoresistance through modulating the growth of specifically oriented crystalline multilayered structures. Two types of buffer layer effects on AF coupling and magnetoresistance are considered: modifying interfacial roughness and producing layer-thickness fluctuations. Interfacial roughness is formulated in the first Born approximation using data obtained from specular and off-specular (diffuse) x-ray scattering measurements. For the roughness at interfaces, correlated interfacial roughness is found to predominate and estimated to be as large as 5–7 Å with a moderately large lateral correlation length scale ξ that ranges from 120 to 200 Å. Upon approximately the same AF coupling, for Fe or Cr buffer layered superlattices characteristic of well-defined, comparatively flat layer structures throughout the entire specimen, magnetoresistance turns out to increase as the correlated interfacial roughness increases. For the superlattices grown on Zr buffer layers in which the presence of columnar structures is confirmed, a constant, weak AF coupling and moderate magnetoresistance concur and are both almost independent of buffer layer thickness. These features are explained in terms of the averaging of AF coupling and magnetoresistance through parallel layer-thickness fluctuation structures approximating the columnar structures. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Giant magnetoresistance (MR) effects have been investigated for spin valve sandwiches using amorphous(a)-(Co0.9Fe0.1)80B20 alloy layers. In an a-CoFeB/Cu/Co sandwich, a MR ratio as large as 6% was obtained, and a MR curve was found to saturate in a field within 100 Oe. The resistivity is 40–60 μΩ cm. In a CoFeB(4 nm)/Cu(2 nm)/a-CoFeB(2 nm)/NiO(10 nm) sandwich, MR ratios as large as 4% were also obtained. The maximum field sensitivity of the sandwich is about 2.5%/Oe. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We have investigated the local structural anisotropy of Tb/Fe multilayers using linear polarized synchrotron radiation. X-ray absorption measurements were performed at Fe K edge (7.1 keV) using normal and glancing angle incident photon. From the Fe extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS), the local structural anisotropy was found for all multilayers as a slight difference of oscillation amplitude between the two incident directions. From the Fourier transformed EXAFS spectra, it is found that the local structural anisotropy shows the maximum at bilayer period of about 1 nm, where perpendicular magnetic anisotropy also shows the maximum value in various rare-earth/transition metal multilayers. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The contribution of Gd and/or (Fe,Co) to the saturation magnetostriction constant λs of pseudobinary Gdx(Fe100−yCoy)100−x (9〈x〈65, y=100, 74,38, or 0) films has been examined by substituting nonmagnetic Y for Gd or nonmagnetic Cu for (Fe,Co) and comparing λs of these alloys at 300 and 80 K. The magnetostriction of Gdx(Fe,Co)100−x as well as Yx(Fe,Co)100−x films are positive and the composition (x) dependence of λs in Gd alloys is similar to Y alloys, but λs of Gd alloys are larger than Y alloys. It was further found that GdxCu100−x (35〈x〈60) shows positive λs at 80 K. These facts indicate positive contribution of Gd to λs in amorphous Gd-(Fe,Co) alloys.

    Notes: Perpendicular anisotropy in bias modulated ErCo sputtered films has been investigated. A ErCo single layer film with or without substrate bias has in-plane magnetization, while a multilayered film formed by the bias modulation has perpendicular magnetization when the modulation period is in the range of 30–60 A(ring). The perpendicular anisotropy is thought to originate in the interface and the value of interface anisotropy Ks is estimated to be 0.01–0.02 erg/cm2.

    Notes: The thermal stability of Pt/Co multilayered films with various underlayers has been studied by annealing up to 400 °C. In Pt/Co films sputtered on glass or amorphous AlN underlayers, their coercivity and the squareness of magnetic hysteresis loops are degraded by annealing above 300 °C. In contrast, in films sputtered on ZnO or Pt underlayers, the coercivity is remarkably increased by annealing at 300 °C. The film with the ZnO underlayer shows a hysteresis loop with perfect squareness even after annealing at 400 °C. The results of x-ray diffraction indicate that the ZnO underlayer not only enhances the fcc Pt/Co(111) orientation but also prevents the decay of the multilayered structure during annealing. The results of laser microannealing using a conventional disk drive system also indicate that the Pt/Co films with ZnO underlayers have superior resistance to laser damage.

    Notes: Nd-Co and Nd-FeCo amorphous films are known to have larger Kerr rotation θk at shorter wavelength and ultraviolet light compared with other RE-TM (rare earth-transition) amorphous films. This property is desirable for MO (magneto-optical) media for the next generation. In order to satisfy the perpendicular magnetization condition, we replaced a part of Nd by Gd to decrease the saturation magnetization Ms and applied the multilayer (ML) structure to enhance the perpendicular anisotropy Ku. Then we succeeded in getting a new ML medium of Nd0.34Gd0.66/Fe0.9Co0.1 with a bilayer period of 1 nm. However, the substitution of 66% Gd resulted in undesirable decreases of Kerr rotation and coercivity. In this experiment, a part of Nd is replaced by either Tb or Dy instead of Gd with an expectation that the amount of replacement to get the perpendicular magnetization configuration may be smaller since Tb and Dy have large one ion anisotropy compared with Gd. The magnetic and MO properties of Nd(Tb,Dy)/FeCo MLs will be reported. In the case of Tb, for example, a square Kerr hysteresis loop is obtained by the substitution of about 40%. However, θK at 400 nm is about 0.30°, which is larger than that of Tb-FeCo but smaller than NdGd/FeCo MLs.

    Notes: Highly ordered MnPt3 alloy film was grown by molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE) at a temperature of 300 °C. The MnPt3 film exhibits a large Kerr rotation, which reaches a maximum value of −0.7° at 1.24 eV. MnPt3(2 nm)/Co(0.6 nm) multilayers were also grown by MBE method onto MgO(111) substrates at a temperature of 300 °C. It was verified by the observation of the reflection high-energy electron diffraction patterns that Co and MnPt3 layers in the film were grown epitaxially on MgO(111). The appearance of superlattice line due to Cu3Au structure in x-ray-diffraction patterns confirmed the formation of the ordered phase in the MnPt3 layer. The hysteresis loops for in-plane and film normal directions became close to each other, which implies that the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy was induced through the multilayered structure. The Kerr spectrum of the MnPt3/Co multilayer have a negative peak of −0.26° around 1.4 eV. This value is fairly smaller in magnitude compared to the one estimated by the effective reflectivity method using the optical and the magneto-optical constants for Co and MnPt3 alloy. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.
