Magnetic properties of PLD grown (Fe/Mn) multilayers
Abstract
Fe/Mn multilayers of four different bilayer thickness were grown by pulsed laser-ablation deposition method. Grazing incidence x-ray reflectivity results for the multilayers showed multilayer peaks implying sharp interfaces between Fe and Mn layers. VSM and MCD measurements have been carried out to characterize magnetic properties of the multilayers. Fe MCD signals corresponding to magnetizations of Fe layers parallel to applied magnetic fields were observed for all samples while Mn MCD signals antiparallel to those of Fe were observed only for samples with Fe layer thickness less than 15ÅP>
