Magnetic anisotropy of Fe/Mo and Fe/Pd artificial superlattices
Abstract
A magnetic anisotropy has been investigated for the artificial superlattices of Fe/Mo and Fe/Pd produced by an rf sputtering method. Both superlattices show an in-plane magnetic anisotropy in the whole range of the wavelength examined. Simple analysis, however, indicates that the surface anisotropy has an easy direction normal to the film plane both superlattices.
