Abstract:
This work describes multilayers of Co90Fe10tF/Ru tRu/Co90Fe10tF and Ni81Fe19tF/Ru tRu/Ni81Fe19tF (20 ÅtF200 Å) prepared at ambient temperature by ion beam deposition on Si/SiO2 3 kÅ substrates. The samples exhibited a maximum antiferromagnetic coupling with tRu=3.2 Å and M–H curves characterized by zero remanent magnetic moment and enhanced saturation field. Antiferromagnetic peaks were present with tRu17 and 30 Å.
