ABSTRACTA systematic study on magnetic properties of (Fc/Pt) compositionally-modulated films as a function of substrate-deposition-temperature has been carried out. For films with (2.5ÅFe/18ÅPt)×40, the intrinsic perpendicular magnetic anisotropy Ku is found to increase with decreasing temperature for all the sarmples deposited at temperatures from -114 °C to 220°C during deposition. The higher the substrate-deposition-temperature, the larger the Ku values become. This result implies a possible contribution from the magne to-elastic effect to the total anisotropy. However, a major part responsible for the perpendicular anisotropy may be found in other mechanisms. The saturation magnetization is found to exceed the value for pure Fe at temperatures lower than 180K.

Spin transfer torque (STT) induced switching of magnetization has led to intriguing and practical possibilities for magnetic random access memory (MRAM). This form of memory, called STT-MRAM, is a strong candidate for future memory applications. This application usually requires a large perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA), large coercivity, and low saturation magnetization. Therefore, we propose an amorphous ferromagnetic CoSiB alloy and investigate CoSiB/Pd multilayer thin films, which have a large PMA, large coercivity, and low saturation magnetization. In this research, we propose a remarkable layered structure that could be a candidate for future applications and try to address a few factors that might affect the variation of PMA, coercivity, and saturation magnetization in the CoSiB/Pd multilayers. We investigate the magnetic properties of the CoSiB/Pd multilayers with various thicknesses of the CoSiB layer. The coercivity was obtained with a maximum of 228 Oe and a minimum value of 91 Oe in the [CoSiB 7 Å/Pd 14 Å]5 and [CoSiB 9 Å/Pd 14 Å]5 multilayers, respectively. The PMA arises from tCoSiB = 3 Å to tCoSiB = 9 Å and disappears after tCoSiB = 9 Å.

We performed a detailed study on the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) of TbCo film by using two kinds of nonmagnetic underlayers, Ta and Ta/Cu with different thicknesses. We found that for both the Tb-rich and Co-rich TbCo alloy films, the PMA strength decreases considerably with the increase of Ta underlayer thickness, while their net saturation magnetization [Formula: see text] exhibit opposite varying trends. The [Formula: see text] value continues to increase for the Co-rich TbCo samples while decrease for the Tb-rich films. Interestingly, an additional Cu layer inserted between the Ta and TbCo layers can efficiently recover the PMA and [Formula: see text]. We attribute such observed variation behaviors of magnetic properties to the increased disordering of Tb magnetic moments at the Ta/TbCo interface, which has been verified by both experimental measurements and micromagnetic simulations.

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.
