Growth-orientation dependence of magnetic properties of Cr-based multilayers with 119Sn monatomic layers

The growth-orientation dependence of magnetism of Cr/Sn and Fe/Cr/Sn/Cr multilayers was studied. For Fe/Cr/Sn/Cr multilayers, reduction of Cr magnetic moments was found in both (011)- and (001)-orientated samples, and the effect is larger in the former than the latter. In Cr/Sn multilayers, the (011...

Zusammenfassung:The growth-orientation dependence of magnetism of Cr/Sn and Fe/Cr/Sn/Cr multilayers was studied. For Fe/Cr/Sn/Cr multilayers, reduction of Cr magnetic moments was found in both (011)- and (001)-orientated samples, and the effect is larger in the former than the latter. In Cr/Sn multilayers, the (011)-oriented sample with the Cr layer thickness (tCr) of 80Å has a commensurate antiferromagnetic structure, while the (001)-oriented samples with tCr⩾80Å have a spin-density-wave structure with the wave vector perpendicular to the film plane.
