Magnetic and magneto-optical studies in Fe/AlN multilayers

We have prepared Fe/AlN multilayers by rf sputtering using water-cooled glass substrates and studied their properties. For t(Fe) > 30 Å the magnetization remains at the bulk value of 1710 G. For t( Fe) = 10 A ̊ it decreases to 550 G. The coercivity shows a broad minimum of 4 to 5 Oe for 60 Å <...

Summary:We have prepared Fe/AlN multilayers by rf sputtering using water-cooled glass substrates and studied their properties. For t(Fe) > 30 Å the magnetization remains at the bulk value of 1710 G. For t( Fe) = 10 A ̊ it decreases to 550 G. The coercivity shows a broad minimum of 4 to 5 Oe for 60 Å < t(Fe) < 100 Å. The specific Faraday rotation shows a broad peak near t( Fe) = 40 A ̊ but falls for thinner Fe layers. The polar Kerr rotation shows a plateau but decreases sharply below 36 Å.
