Effects of argon ion irradiation on structural and magnetic properties of Tb/Fe multilayers

Small angles X-ray diffraction and Mössbauer characterization of annealed Tb/Fe multilayer

“…This difference between our results may be explained by the range of annealing temperatures used. On the other hand, in an earlier work (Lemine et al 2006), we have also studied the effect of ion irradiations on Tb/Fe multilayers. Specimens of composition similar to the present one were irradiated with 360 keV Ar ions.…”

Spin-wave excitation and Mössbauer spectrometry of amorphous interface in Tb/Fe multilayer

“…The magnetic parameters in RE/Fe multilayers are iron ferromagnetism, strong anisotropy and RKKY (Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida) type interactions in the rare earth, ferromagnetic (ferrimagnetic) coupling between iron and light (heavy) rare earth. In Tb/Fe multilayer, the occurrence of perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in these multilayered systems depends mainly on the extensions and the nature of the interfacial Fe-Tb region [1][2][3][7][8]. The morphology and the extension of the interfaces in relation with the substrate temperature and the deposition process are investigated by 57 Fe Mössbauer spectrometry method [9].…”

Structure and magnetic properties of Gd/Fe layers grown by MBE

“…Regarding the magnetism of the multilayer RE/TM, there are many reports focusing on the spin orientation in each layer [6][7][8][9]. Gd is the only RE element that has an isotropic distribution of magnetic electrons around its atom and only a spin, i.e.…”
