Abstract:Multilayer samples of Ce/Fe, fabricated by sputtering and characterized by X‐ray diffraction and reflectivity were studied by polarized neutron reflectivity and Mössbauer spectroscopy. Corresponding studies on sputtered U/Fe multilayers have been initiated. In Fe/Ce a paramagnetic phase, identified as amorphous Fe was observed at Fe thicknesses below 20 Å. Perpendicular magnetic anisotropy was observed for Fe thicknesses below 17 Å and studies in applied fields enabled magnetic anisotropies to be evaluated for… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
