A comparison of the magnetic anisotropy of [001] and [111] oriented Co/Pd Multilayers

Magnetic properties of Co/Pt‐Pd multilayer thin film media

“…Figure 4 shows the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy K p multiplied by the Co layer thickness t Co of Co/Pt and Co/Pt 31 Pd 69 multilayer specimens as a function of t Co . Interface anisotropy energy K s was estimated by using the relation of [6], where K v is the bulk contribution. The K s values for the Co/Pt and the Co/Pt 31 Pd 69 specimens were estimated to be 0.18 erg/cm 2 and 0.06 erg/cm 2 , respectively.…”

Magnetic Compton profiles of Fe thin film and anisotropy of Co/Pd multilayer

“…The scattered X-rays were detected by a 10-segmented Ge solid-state detector (SSD) (Canberra GL0115S) with a scattering angle of 1788. Each Ge-crystal size was 100 mm 2 !15 mm thick. The SSD was installed at a distance of 1 m from the sample.…”

“…Metallic multilayers, such as Co/Pd, exhibit large positive uniaxial anisotropies when the magnetic layer thickness is reduced to a few monolayers [1][2][3]. The presence of perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in metallic multilayers has attracted a great deal of interest because of the technological advances in magnetic and magnetooptical recording.…”

The Influence of the Temperature, External Magnetic Field, and the Thickness of Pt Sublayer on the Magnetocrystalline Anisotropy Constants in Co/Pt Multilayers

“…For these fundamental studies as well as for their applications, the magnetism of thin metal films and layered magnetic materials is currently of great interest. The Co/Pt and Co/Pd multilayers have been the subject of many recent papers [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] because of their wide use in the magnetic recording media [10]. Apart from the potential practical use of these multilayers for high-density computer data storage, the systems are also fascinating because of the effects of quality, composition, and geometrical structure of the interfaces on the anisotropies.…”
