description | Antiferromagnetic coupling between rare-earth (RE) and transition metals (TM) gives rise to various magnetic ground states in RE/TM heterostructures. Interface structure and morphology tend to play important roles in defining the magnetic properties of heterostructures of these materials. Using spin-dependent polarized neutron reflectivity (PNR), we found a distinct magnetic structure for RE/TM (Gd/Co) multilayers having different interface morphologies. Two Gd/Co multilayers, each consisting of eight bilayers of Gd and Co, were grown at different argon pressures to accomplish variation in the interface morphology. The Gd/Co multilayer, which is grown at a lower argon pressure, exhibits lower intermixing/interdiffusion at the interfaces and shows asymmetric magnetic hysteresis loops below the compensation temperature (Tcomp ∼ 140 K) and antisymmetric magnetoresistance at Tcomp. The other multilayer, grown at two different argon pressures for the top and bottom four bilayers, shows a double hysteresis loop with an exchange-bias-like shift to the field axis at temperatures above Tcomp (∼150 K). From PNR measurements across Tcomp, these behaviors were attributed to interface dependent magnetic helical structures. The PNR results indicate the formation of a twisted helical magnetic structure with planar 2π domain walls and the evolution of magnetic inhomogeneities below Tcomp. The interface dependent twisted helical magnetic structures and the development of highly correlated magnetic inhomogeneities may find applications in all-spin-based technologies. |
