ABSTRACTCobalt-platinum alloys and multilayers are now well known for their potentialities in Magneto-optical recording Media. The growth of ultrathin layers and sandwiches is thought to be useful to find the relationship between the structural and magnetic properties at an atomic level. Low Energy Electron Diffraction (LEED) and Auger spectroscopy (AES) are used here to study the crystallography and the growth modes of Pt on Co (0001) surfaces. Co/Pt/Co sandwiches are also built and investigated by the same Methods. At room temperature we show the evidence of a good epitaxy of platinum on the Co (0001) surface leading to the possibility of obtaining ordered Co/Pt/Co sandwiches. Annealings at moderate temperatures lead to an epitaxial alloy formation. Auger results show that alloying indeed induces a magnetic moment on platinum atoms. This could explain the magnetic properties already observed in CO/Pt (111) Multilayers.

Pt/Co ultrathin multilayer films are a new candidate for magneto-optical (MO) recording devices. We have previously shown that their magnetic properties are improved by sputtering them with either Kr or Xe instead of Ar. Specifically, Arsputtered films have too small coercivity for recording. In this study we demonstrate that high resolution electron microscopy (HREM) is a powerful technique to study the relationship of the multilayer microstructure and magnetic properties. We used a Philips CM30 and a JEM 2000FX microscope to study multilayers with a typical total thickness in the 10 nm range, consisting of only 1-2 atomic layers of Co and 4-6 atomic layers of Pt.Figure 1 compares the cross sectional microstructure of nearly identical Pt/Co multilayers (~10x[4Å Co+13Å Pt]) sputtered in (A) 7 mTorr of Ar, (B) 7 mTorr of Kr, and (C) 5 mTorr of Xe. The layers sputtered in Ar are extremely flat and continuous. Sputtering with a larger mass gas (Kr or Xe) progressively increased the layer roughness, and the lateral continuity of layers was more frequently interrupted by grain boundaries, which were very distinct in Kr- and Xe-sputtered films compared to Ar-sputtered films.

<p>Magnetite formation of serpentinized ultramafic rocks leads to variations in the magnetic properties of serpentinites; however, magnetite precipitation is still on debate.</p><p>In this work, we analyzed 60 cores of ultramafic rocks with a variety of serpentinization degrees. These rocks belong to the ultramafic-mafic San Juan de Otates complex in Guanajuato, Mexico. Geochemical studies have been previously conducted, enabling us to compare changes in the magnetic properties against the chemical variations generated by the serpentinization process. By studying the density and magnetic properties such as anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility, hysteresis curves as well as magnetic and temperature-dependent susceptibility and, we were able to identify the relationship between magnetic content and serpentinization degree, the predominant magnetic carrier, and to what extent the magnetite grain size depends on the serpentinization.  Variations in these parameters allowed us to better constrain the temperature at which serpentinization occurred, the generation of other Fe-rich phases such as Fe-brucite and/or Fe-rich serpentine as well as distinctive rock textures formed at different serpentinization degrees.</p>
