Abstract
Co( 15 A)/Ag(60 A) multilayers produced by electron beam deposition on a 50 A chromium buffer layer over a Si( 111) wafer have been studied by magnetoresistance, saturation magnetization, coercivity, and anisotropy. Annealing at various temperatures produces striking effects on the observed physical properties, such as an improvement on the value of the magnetoresistance associated to a “back-diffusion” process in the Co/Ag interfaces. This leads one to believe that interface roughness is indee ...
Co( 15 A)/Ag(60 A) multilayers produced by electron beam deposition on a 50 A chromium buffer layer over a Si( 111) wafer have been studied by magnetoresistance, saturation magnetization, coercivity, and anisotropy. Annealing at various temperatures produces striking effects on the observed physical properties, such as an improvement on the value of the magnetoresistance associated to a “back-diffusion” process in the Co/Ag interfaces. This leads one to believe that interface roughness is indeed most important to understanding the connection between giant magnetoresistance and antiferromagnetic coupling, as well as the behavior of coercivity vs interface anisotropy in these materials. ...
