Structures and magnetic properties of Fe/Ag multilayer films prepared by sputtering and ultrahigh-vacuum depositions
Fe/Ag multilayer films were prepared by rf-magnetron sputtering and ultrahigh-vacuum (UHV) depositions. The Ag layer thickness dAg was 2 nm constant, and the Fe layer thickness dFe was changed from 1 ...

Thin films of Fe when separated by approximately 8 Å of Cr couple antiferromagnetically. Evidence for this comes from spin-wave-mode spectra as measured by means of light scattering and hysteresis curves, here obtained by means of the magneto-optic Kerr effect. Based on new and more-detailed data we would like to discuss the behavior of a particular spin-wave mode due to the spin canting induced by the antiferromagnetic coupling. It is related to a Goldstone mode. The experiments also show that antiferromagnetic coupling occurs not only for films grown along [100] but also for films grown along [110]. We discuss the implications of this observation. Journal of Applied Physics is copyrighted by The American Institute of Physics.
