Spin-reorientation processes in anisotropic magnetic superlattices (SLs) with antiferromagnetic interfacial coupling are theoretically analyzed. Results provide magnetic phase diagrams of the kind "external field-relative magnetic moment," as well as equations for the lines of the phase transitions. The influence of possible inhomogeneous magnetization in SLs is considered phenomenologically for the normal-incidence polar Kerr magneto-optical effect assuming the Q parameter to be a function of distance along the normal to the interface. A simple approach to the solution of this problem is outlined.
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.
