چکیده

Soft X-ray resonant magnetic scattering studies on a magnetically modulated, but nominally chemically homogenous, 5 nm Ni layer in a Cu/Ni/Cu/Co/NiO/GaAs(110) system are reported. It was possible to estimate the main chemical structure of the sample on the basis of the results from specular reflectivity and rocking scans, probing the scattering vector components in the perpendicular and in-plane direction to the Ni wires, respectively. The magnetic scattering using polarized X-rays demonstrates the magnetic modulation of the Ni layer.

X-ray resonant magnetic scattering from FePd thin films

Depending on the growth conditions, FePd thin films can display a perpendicular magnetic anisotropy associated with chemical order. In competition with the shape anisotropy, this can lead to striped magnetic domains, with moments perpendicular to the film plane. Under these circumstances, magnetic flux closure should occur. The striped domains were studied with soft x-ray resonant magnetic scat...

Soft x-ray magnetic scattering evidence for biquadratic coupling in CoÕCu multilayers

Soft x-ray resonant magnetic scattering has been used to study the magnetic structure of sputtered Co/Cu multilayers. A pure magnetic peak, at half the scattering vector of the structural Bragg peak from the multilayer, was observed from layers with and without deliberate oxygen contamination in the middle of the copper spacer layer. With increasing field in the sample plane, the magnetic peak ...

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. ...

Introducing and investigating structural and magnetic properties of ribbons Co68.5-xFe4WxSi16.5B11 (x = 0.8, 2) in amorphous and crystalline states

In this study, for the first time, cobalt base ribbons were made by adding two different amounts of tungsten with Co67.7Fe4W0.8Si16.5B11 and Co66.5Fe4W2 Si16.5B11 compounds by melt spinning in the water. The pattern of  X-ray diffraction taken from these ribbons shows that these magnetic ribbons are amorphous. By using thermal analysis curves, taken from the ribbons, crystallization temperature...

Competition between in-plane and out-of-plane magnetization in exchange-coupled magnetic films

The coupling between a Co layer with in-plane easy axis of magnetization and a Ni layer with out-of-plane easy axis across a nonmagnetic Cu spacer layer was studied by layer-resolved magnetic imaging. Photoelectron emission microscopy and magnetic circular dichroism in soft x-ray absorption as the magnetic contrast mechanism were used for the domain imaging. Crossed, wedge-shaped epitaxial Co a...
