The structure and magnetic properties of thin polycrystalline Co100-xWx (0<x>30) films deposited by magnetron sputtering on glass substrates, including those containing buffer layers Ta, W and Ru, have been investigated. It was found that pure Co films are non-single-phase and contain hpc and fcc crystal modifications. Doping leads to an increase in the concentration of the fcc phase and enhance the texture (111), and subsequently to the amorphization of the films. Buffer layers had a certain influence on the depth and concentration localization of these transformations. A characteristic feature of the magnetism of Co-W films is a significant perpendicular component in the macroscopic magnetic anisotropy, which leads to a "trance critical" magnetic state. It was shown that its source was a textured fcc phase, the crystal anisotropy of which was enhanced by the doping of cobalt with tungsten.

This paper presents a detailed study of the hysteresis properties of film structures based on bilayers of the (Cr-Mn)/Fe type. The temperature dependences of several parameters of the hysteresis loops of the Fe layers are determined for films varying in the composition and thickness of the Cr-Mn layer, as well as in the structure of buffer coatings. The compositional and temperature intervals of the existence of the antiferromagnetic ordering in the Cr-Mn layer and the related features of the temperature changes in the coercive force, its anisotropy in the plane of the films and the exchange bias field are established. The causal analysis of the established regularities is performed.

In this work, the results of magneto-optical and magnetometric measurements carried out on YIG/FeNi film two-layer structures are presented. YIG films were grown by liquid phase epitaxy, and FeNi films were deposited using magnetron sputtering. It has been established that in the YIG/FeNi system the interlayer coupling is mainly due to the magnetostatic interaction.

The article presents the results of a systematic study of the crystalline structure, microstructure, and hysteresis properties of (Cr80Mn20)/Fe bilayers, deposited on buffer coatings of various metals (Cr, Fe, W, Ta). It has been established that depending on the composition of the buffer coating and the thickness of the Cr-Mn layer, the latter develops body-centered cubic structure with either the (110) or (200) texture, or none. It is shown that the Cr-Mn layer is a source of increased coercivity in the adjacent Fe layer and when is in a certain structural state and has a relatively large thickness (100 nm) induces exchange bias in the Fe layer. The regularities obtained are interpreted in terms of the antiferromagnetic ordering of Cr-Mn and its relatively weak magnetic anisotropy
