“…Scanning Auger deep-profiles analysis, now in progress, seems to confirm these hypothesis. Otherwise, in reference [I] we suggest that magnetization ripple deduced from TBIS measurements for films where x > 0.70, may arise, not only from the intrinsic contribution of randomly distributed local anisotropies inherent to amorphous alloys [6], but an additional contribution from magnetic inhomogeneities localized in the film-air interface could be expected. To elucidate this point, TBIS measurements were carried out in Coo.soY0.20 films protected with Mo overlayers.…”
