Ion irradiation of Co/Pt multilayer films (2003)
Journal Article

This article describes a microstructural and magnetic investigation of the modification of Co/Pt multilayer films by Ar ion irradiation which results in a change of the orientation of the magnetization from perpendicular to the film plane to the in-p...

Induced V and reduced Co magnetic moments at the V/Co interface (2003)
Journal Article

Using x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) the vanadium and cobalt magnetic moments at the V/Co interface have been extracted for different V and Co thicknesses. We find a large magnetic moment induced on the V that is coupled antiferromagnetic t... Read More about Induced V and reduced Co magnetic moments at the V/Co interface.

Synchrotron X-ray diffraction measurements of the FCC/FCT phase transformation in PtMnCr pinning layers (2001)
Journal Article

We examine the change in structure of the pinning layer of PtMnCr/NiFe bilayers in the as-deposited state and upon annealing, using synchrotron radiation. The X-ray measurements show that the degree of transformation of the FCC phase of PtMnCr to the...

Role of crystallographic structure on magnetization reversal of (101̄0) and (112̄0) textured thin film media (2001)
Journal Article

In this study we examine the role of crystallographic structure on the magnetization reversal of two CoCrPtTa thin films grown on different underlayers which provide either a [112̄0] or a [101̄0] preferred orientation. We report synchrotron x-ray mea... Read More about Role of crystallographic structure on magnetization reversal of (101̄0) and (112̄0) textured thin film media.

Preparation of short-period Fe-N magnetic multilayers using an atomic nitrogen beam (2001)
Journal Article

Magnetic multilayers containing Fe-N layers with bilayer periods of between /spl sim/15-84 /spl Aring/ and sharp interfaces, are successfully grown using an atomic (free radical) nitrogen beam. The phase composition and microstructure is found to be... Read More about Preparation of short-period Fe-N magnetic multilayers using an atomic nitrogen beam.
