AbstractWe report on the electrical transport properties of Nb based Josephson junctions with Pt/Co$$_{68}$$ 68 B$$_{32}$$ 32 /Pt ferromagnetic barriers. The barriers exhibit perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, which has the main advantage for potential applications over magnetisation in-plane systems of not affecting the Fraunhofer response of the junction. In addition, we report that there is no magnetic dead layer at the Pt/Co$$_{68}$$ 68 B$$_{32}$$ 32 interfaces, allowing us to study barriers with ultra-thin Co$$_{68}$$ 68 B$$_{32}$$ 32 . In the junctions, we observe that the magnitude of the critical current oscillates with increasing thickness of the Co$$_{68}$$ 68 B$$_{32}$$ 32 strong ferromagnetic alloy layer. The oscillations are attributed to the ground state phase difference across the junctions being modified from zero to $$\pi $$ π . The multiple oscillations in the thickness range $$0.2~\leqslant ~d_\text {CoB}~\leqslant ~1.4$$ 0.2 ⩽ d CoB ⩽ 1.4  nm suggests that we have access to the first zero-$$\pi $$ π and $$\pi $$ π -zero phase transitions. Our results fuel the development of low-temperature memory devices based on ferromagnetic Josephson junctions.

There is currently great interest in magnetic multilayer (ML) thin films (see e.g.), because they display some interesting magnetic properties. Co/Pd and Co/Au ML systems exhibit perpendicular magnetic anisotropy below certain Co layer thicknesses, which makes them candidates for applications in the field of magneto-optical recording. It has been found that the magnetic anisotropy of a particular system strongly depends on the preparation method (vapour deposition, sputtering, ion beam sputtering) as well as on the substrate, underlayer and deposition temperature. In order to get a better understanding of the correlation between microstructure and properties a thorough cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (XTEM) study of vapour deposited Co/Pd and Co/Au (111) MLs was undertaken (for more detailed results see ref.).The Co/Pd films (with fixed Pd thickness of 2.2 nm) were deposited on mica substrates at substrate temperatures Ts of 20°C and 200°C, after prior deposition of a 100 nm Pd underlayer at 450°C.
