ABSTRACTThe Brillouin light scattering technique has been exploited in order to investigate the elastic properties of periodic superlattices consisting of alternating layers of Fe20Ni80 (permalloy) and either Cu or Nb. These multilayers, with total thicknesses ranging between 0.2 and 0.7 mm and with periods of typically 3-5 nm, present a polycrystalline structure with (110) texture for the Nb layers and (111) texture for both the FeNi and Cu layers. Measurement of the frequency position of the Brillouin peaks corresponding to the Rayleigh and Sezawa acoustic modes allowed the effective elastic constants of these structures to be determined. The values obtained are compared with those calculated from the elastic constants of the bulk materials, taking into account the polycrystalline nature of the superlattices and the crystallographic orientation of the layers.

AbstractThe Brillouin light scattering technique has been exploited for investigating the elastic properties of periodic superlattices made by alternating layers of Ta and Al. These multilayers, deposited by d.c. sputtering on glass and Si substrates, present a polycrystalline structure with (110) and (111) texture for the Ta and Al layers, respectively. They have total thicknesses of about 0.5 μm and periods ranging from 4 to 10 nm. Measurement of the phase velocities of the Rayleigh and Sezawa acoustic modes from the frequency position of the corresponding Brillouin peaks, yielded informaton on the effective elastic constants of the superlattices. for large periods (8-10 nm) the values determined experimentally are in good agreement with those calculated from the elastic constants of the bulk materials, while for lower periods (4-6 nm) the estimated elastic constants exhibit a marked increase. This anomalous behavior has been attributed to the presence of a transition layer at each interface, where Ta and Al interdiffuse, as observed by x-ray and electron microscopy experiments.

We study the magnetic inhomogeneity originating from interfacial roughness in ultrathin Ta(N)|CoFeB|MgO heterostructures using Brillouin light scattering and observed a significantly reduced magnetic inhomogeneity and damping by N-doping in Ta underlayer.

D Value

We had found nonreciprocity of spin waves in Pt/Co/Ir/Co/Pt synthetic ferrimagnets by Brillouin light scattering technique. It is shown that the main contribution to the nonreciprocity of spin waves is made by the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction with an energy density D ≈ 1.7 - 2.3 erg/cm2. The energy density of the Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction in Pt/Co/Ir/Co/Pt synthetic ferrimagnets is higher than its values in heterostructures with one Co layer Pt/Co(1 nm)/Ir ~ 1.4 erg/cm2. The D value of synthetic ferrimagnets decreases with increasing thickness of the Co thin layer.
