ABSTRACTRecent advances in molecular beam epitaxy have renewed research on the physics of artificially structured magnetic superlattices. In particular, there has been much theoretical research on the propagation of magnetic spin waves or magnetic polaritons in magnetic superlattices.1 In this work, we have studied the effect of modulating both the period of an antiferromagnetic/non-Magnetic semi-infinite superlattice and the relative thickness of its individual layers to see how the dispersion relationships co (k) for bulk and surface magnetic polaritons are effected. We have also calculated the effect of an external magnetic field on (u (k) and our calculation goes beyond the magnetostatic approximation by taking retardation effects into account.

ABSTRACTWe study the magnetoresistance of [Fe/Cr]30/MgO superlattices grown by molecular beam epitaxy at a various magnetic field directions. The theory of the orientation dependence of the effect is developed. It is shown that the magnetic field strength dependence of magnetoresistance can be calculated for arbitrary orientation of magnetic field if this dependence is known for in-plane and perpendicular-to-plane magnetic fields. It is noted that the magnetization curve can be obtained by making use of the results of the magnetoresistance measurements.

A series of all-perovskite oxide p-n heterojunctions (PNHs) as well as perovskite oxide and Si PNHs have been fabricated by a laser molecular-beam epitaxy. The good nonlinear and rectifying I-V characteristics in the PNHs, unusual and high sensitivity of positive magnetoresistance in low magnetic field in SrNbxTi1-xO3/La1-ySryMnO3 and La1-xSrxMnO3/Si PNHs, ps orders ultrafast photoelectric effect in La1-xSrxMnO3/Si PNHs, as well as ferroelectric property due to the interface enhancement in BaNb0.3Ti0.7O3/Si PNHs have been observed. It is expected that the further investigation on the PNHs could not only stimulate theoretical study on the mechanisms but also would open up new possibilities in the development and application of electrical devices.

In the present paper the dispersive equation for surface polaritons localized at the ferromagnet - high temperature superconductor interface structure have been obtained. The main characteristics dependences upon the external magnetic field are analyzed in the frame of the electromagnetic approach for transverse electric (TE) polarization wave. The analysis for different orientations of superconductor crystallographic axes relative to wave vector directions is carried out.

The present work investigated interlayer couplings of [Co(20 Å)/Pt(30 Å)]5, [Co(4 Å)/Pt(7 Å)]30, and [Co(4 Å)/Pt(9 Å)]30multilayers with strong perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA). Brillouin light scattering measurements were utilized to obtain spin waves of these samples with in-plane external magnetic fields. Interlayer couplings were found to be very sensitive to Pt thickness change from 7 Å to 9 Å, which implies that Pt atoms were more difficult to be polarized to provide interlayer coupling between Co layers than in the perpendicular external magnetic field situation. When Pt layer is 30 Å, the observed single spin wave can confirm the disappearance of interlayer coupling even when Co layer thickness is 20 Å.
