Magnetism and magnetic anisotropy of NixPd1-x alloy

Single-crystalline NixPd1-x thin films with a face-centered cubic structure for the whole stoichiometry 0x1 have been achieved on Cu(100) via molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The ferromagnetism shows up at x0.25 at 300K and the total magnetization decreases as the Pd concentration increases, which conf...

Zusammenfassung:	Single-crystalline NixPd1-x thin films with a face-centered cubic structure for the whole stoichiometry 0x1 have been achieved on Cu(100) via molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The ferromagnetism shows up at x0.25 at 300K and the total magnetization decreases as the Pd concentration increases, which confirms our earlier first-principles calculations (Y.S. Shi, M.F. Wang, D. Qian, G.S. Dong, X.F. Jin, D.S. Wang, J. Magn. Magn. Mater. 277 (2004) 71). The magnetocrystalline anisotropy of NixPd1-x is determined to be cubic with a negative K1, as measured by the magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) technique with a rotating magnetic field (ROTMOKE).
