Element-specific vector magnetometry of buried layers
Abstract
Magnetic circular dichroism is used as an element-specific vector magnetometer to determine the behavior of a buried 4.3 monolayer Mn film in a Fe 25Co 75/Mn/Fe 25Co 75 trilayer, which exhibits a 90° coupling between the FeCo layers. The data indicate a net ferromagnetic Mn moment canted by 23° from the net Fe (and Co) moments.
