Exchange Coupling and Magnetization Profiles of Binary and Ternary Magnetic Multilayers
نویسندگان
چکیده
Within a spin-polarized LMTO approach in the Atomic-Sphere approximation we calculate ab initio the magnetic properties of various binary and ternary multilayers composed of Fe, Co, Ni, Cr, V and Cu. The emphasis lies on the indirect exchange interaction of the magnetic sandwiches across the antiferromagnetic or non-magnetic spacers, and on the profiles of the intrinsic resp. induced magnetic moments. Among other results we find: (i) that Ni is very sensitive on its neighborhood and that (ii) at the interface to Fe, V gets almost as strongly polarized as Cr, whereas in the interior layers, the V sandwich remains non-polarized. PACS numbers: 75.70.-i, 75.70.Cn

Magnetic Properties and Structural Study of Ni-Co/Cu Multilayers Prepared by Electrodeposition Method
Ni-Co/Cu multilayers have been grown by electrodeposition method from a single electrolyte (based on Ni(SO4).6H2O, Co(SO4).7H2O, Cu(SO4) and H3BO3) using galvanostatic control on titanium sublayers. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns confirmed the multilayered structure with the nanometer thicknesses. Also, electron diffraction x-ray (EDX) analysis confirmed the purity of deposited samples. ...

We have investigated the magnetic structure and coupling in epitaxial [Fe3/Au(0 0 1)N/(Fe1Au1)3/Au(0 0 1)N] 2 multilayers. Our system contains alternating (Fe1Au1)3 monoatomic stacks with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and 3 atomic layer (AL) thick Fe films (Fe3) with an in-plane easy magnetization axis, separated by an Au(0 0 1) spacer layer. Giant magnetoresistance and magnetization measur...
متن کاملMagnetic patterning: local manipulation of the intergranular exchange coupling via grain boundary engineering
Magnetic patterning, with designed spatial profile of the desired magnetic properties, has been a rising challenge for developing magnetic devices at nanoscale. Most existing methods rely on locally modifying magnetic anisotropy energy or saturation magnetization, and thus post stringent constraints on the adaptability in diverse applications. We propose an alternative route for magnetic patter...
متن کاملSubtle interface magnetism of Fe/Au multilayers
By ab initio LMTO calculations in atomic-sphere approximation we have studied the interlayer exchange coupling between Fe films separated by Au spacers in infinite Fe/Au multilayers with (001) interface orientation. We also performed detailed calculations of the magnetization and charge profiles across the system. We find an enhancement of the Fe moments at the interface, which amount to ≈ 2.8 ...
متن کاملMean-field simulation of metal oxide antiferromagnetic films and multilayers
In this work the magnetization in antiferromagnetic thin films and multilayers with interlayer exchange coupling is simulated using mean-field approximation. Transition-metal oxide antiferromagnets are modeled as multiplane magnetic systems with 1 to 11 planes and the magnetization M is calculated as a function of temperature T . The antiferromagnetic films exhibit ferromagnetism when the numbe...
