ABSTRACTThe lattice reconstructed bec Ni (001) in Fe/Ni (001) ultrathin layers allows one to engineer films in which the in-plane 4-fold anisotropies and coercive fields can be varied and adjusted according to specific requirements. Magnetization reversals have been studied in layered structures of Fe/Ag/Fe/Ni (001). For Ag (001) interlayers thicker than 13 ML Magnetization reversal can proceed in two steps. In these samples the minor loops switch the magnetization of the Fe (001) layer from the parallel to the antiparallel configurations with respect to the magnetic moment of the Fe/Ni film. Such Minor loops exhibit a rectangular behavior with switching fields of 15–25 Oe. The lattice transformed Fe/Ni layers could be useful in spin-valve structures.
