ABSTRACTA series of epitaxial Co-Cu superlattices has been grown on GaAs (110) substrates by molecular beam epitaxy. Detailed analysis of x-ray diffuse scattering scans along Co (101ℓ) reveals a crossover from from the bulk hcp phase of Co to metastable fcc stacking. Our measurements indicate a strong correlation between structural symmetry and the magnetic anisotropy in Co - noble metal superlattices. In particular, the perpendicular easy axis of magnetization onsets at Co layer thickness ♣ 19 Å in Cohcp-Au compared to only ˜11 Å in Cofcc-Cu.

AbstractWe describe measurements on the magnetic properties of Co-Cu superlattices in which the Co layer thickness was fixed at 20 Å and the Cu thickness was varied from 4 Å to 24 Å. The samples were grown on Ge-buffered (110) GaAs by molecular beam epitaxy. X-ray scattering and in-situ RHEED indicate that the multilayers are oriented in the (111) direction with the Co layers stacked in an fcc arrangement. Our interest in this series of samples lies in their unusual hysteresis curves which show distinct transitions. We have found that the appearance of these transitions is directly related to the Cu thickness, indicating the presence of complex spin configurations as a consequence of competing interactions. The results are not consistent with a simple RKKY antiferromagnetic coupling.
