MAGNETO-OPTICAL SPECTRA IN Fe-Au SUPERLATTICES MODULATED BY NON-INTEGER ATOMIC LAYERS

Abstract

-Magnetooptical Kerr spectra were measured in [Fc(nML)/ Au(nlvfL)h superlattices with non-intcger \"aluc of n. Although oycrall spectral features are similar to those of integer superlattices, clear differences \yere found in low-energy spectra, Spectra of the off-diagonal conductiYity tensor clement multiplied by the angular frequency, O)CJ n were calculated. An oscillatory beha\'ior was found in the absolute \"alue of (t)CJ xy at the photon energy of 1.5 eV '

Magneto-optical Spectra of Pt/Co GMR Structures with Capping Layers

“…This suggests that Au, Pt, or Ta affects the electronic structure of PtCo underneath the capping layer. We believe that this can happen, since it is known that the metallic multilayer has a peculiar electronic structure that cannot be merely explained by assuming the stack of metals observed in Pd/Co and Fe/Au multilayers 7,8) .…”

Magneto-optical spectra of Fe/Au artificial superlattices modulated by integer and noninteger atomic layers

“…13,14 Oscillatory behavior of a MOKE structure with the modulation period x in the low photon energy region was also observed. 15 In this article, we present an overview of our MO studies in ͓Fe (xML͒/Au (xML)͔ N superlattices with integer and noninteger values of x and discuss a general trend in the variation of the electronic structure of the superlattice series. A part of this study has been published elsewhere.…”
