Quantum Well States

ABSTRACTWe have searched for the electronic states that mediate oscillatory magnetic coupling in superlattices, and have found strong evidence that these are quantum well states, which are created by quantizing the momentum of s,p-band states perpendicular to the interfaces. The quantum well picture also explains how quantum well states in noble metals become spin-polarized, due to a spin-dependent electron reflectivity at the interface with the ferromagnet. The resulting implications for magnetoresistance are discussed.

ABSTRACTWe report on the Magneto-optical Kerr rotation (<φ>K) spectra of ultrathin Fe films on Au or Ag (100) substrates and the φK oscillation due to interlayer thickness in Fe/Au/Fe sandwich films. In 3.5–4.5 eV, a new φK peak appears in the bcc-Fe (100) ultrathin films on the fcc-Au (100) surface and it shifts towards the higher energy side with increasing Fe layer thickness. The absolute value of eXy for 3Å (2ML) thick Fe layers is twice as large as that of bulk Fe at 3.7 eV. The thickness dependence of the transition energy of this new peak in the spectra is well explained by the concept of quantum well states in the Fe ultrathin layers, attributing the new transition to a transition from the majority spin Δ5 band ({px±i py), {dxz±i dyZ}; M=±l) to the Δ1 quantum well states (s, pz, dz2; M=0). The new peak is also observed in the Fe/Au (100) artificial superlattices. Using the εxy obtained experimentally for the Fe ultrathin films and the εxy of literature, we can reproduce the experimental φK spectra of the artificial superlattices by optical calculation. On the other hand, we cannot observe the same behavior for the ultrathin Fe films grown on a fcc-Ag (100) surface and covered by a Au (100) ultrathin film, although the εXy of Fe is different from that of the bulk and shows some structures in 2–3 eV. These structures around 2.5 eV are thought to be due to polarized Au atoms adjacent to an Fe layer.An oscillation of φK as a function of interlayer thickness, d, was observed in photon energy region between about 2.5 and 3.8 eV for the Fe (6Å) /Au (dÅ) /Fe (6A) sandwiched film. The oscillation period was about 10Å (5ML) of Au. The oscillation is thought to be closely related with a formation of spin polarized quantum well states of Δ1 band in Au layers sandwiched by magnetic layers.
