Abstract:
We investigated structural and magnetic properties of Fe/Zr Multilayer films using high-resolution transmission electron Microscopy, X-ray diffraction and vibrating sample Magnetometry. For films with wavelength (Λ) ≥ 80Å, the interface region between the Fe and Zr layers exhibits a 15–20Å thick amorphous structure. The Magnetization curves of these films showed a monotonous decrease in the saturation magnetizations with Λ, whose trend is well explained by a simple asymptotic model that assumes the interface amorphous layer to be non-ferromagnetic. Films with Λ≤40Å exhibit a compositionally-Modulated amorphous structure. The latter films are paramagnetic except for the one with Λ=40Å, which showed a superparamagnetic behavior.
