Applied Trends in Magnetic Rare Earth/Transition Metal Alloys and Multilayers

Abstract: Ferrimagnetic thin films formerly played a very important role in the development of information storage technology. Now they are again at the forefront of the rising field of spintronics. From new, more efficient magnetic recording media and sensors based on spin valves to the promising technologies envisaged by all-optical switching, ferrimagnets offer singular properties that deserve to be studies both from the point of view of fundamental physics and for applications. In this review, we will focus on ferri… Show more

“…[32][33][34][35][36][37][38] Alloys combining transition metals (TM) and rare earth (RE) elements exhibit magnetic moments originating from electrons residing in the d and f orbitals, respectively. 39,40 Certain combinations of these elements result in strong antiferromagnetic exchange coupling. These materials can manifest complex magnetic structures with a considerable variation in magnetization, depending on their composition.…”

“…The binary intermetallic DyCo 5 alloy belongs to the family of binary rare-earth (RE)–transition metal (TM) compounds, renowned for their magnetic properties that find applications in permanent magnet technologies, 13 spintronics, 14 and ultrafast optical switching. 15 Particularly, DyCo 5 exhibits remarkable magnetic properties, including a high Curie temperature of approximately 970 K, attributable to the large exchange coupling of Co spins, as well as a high coercive field stemming from a considerably high magnetic anisotropy.…”

“…Thin films of compensated ferrimagnets based on the combination of rare-earth and transition metals having alloy or multilayer forms are currently considered key materials for spintronics and other modern technology [3]. Thin films of Mn 4 N also demonstrate non-collinear ferrimagnetism and are interesting materials for spintronics applications [4].…”
