Notes:
Co/Mn multilayers were prepared by rf sputtering onto single-crystal MgO and sapphire substrates resulting in, respectively, (001)- and (111)-oriented layers. The structure was thoroughly analyzed by x-ray scattering in various geometries (Q. Wang et al. to be published). For the magnetic investigations, ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) was applied. Complementary measurements employed the magneto-optical Kerr-effect (MOKE) and Faraday balance magnetometry. Results for the in-plane anisotropy, the surface anisotropy, the magnetization, and the FMR linewidth are presented. The comparison with other Co-based multilayer systems indicates that both the structural and the magnetic properties of the Co/Mn system are more complicated than in the case of systems with a presumably weaker electronic interaction at the interface [see also K. Ounadjela et al., Phys. Rev. B 49, 8561 (1994)]. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.
