ABSTRACTThe Co/Pd and Co/Pd artificial lattice films have attracted much interest by their special magnetization properties. We discussed the effect of the Pt, Pd layer thickness on the magnetic anisotropy, and we showed the effect of the hydrogen ion implantation on the magnetic properties of multi-layered films. The Co/Pt and Co/Pd multi-layered films were formed on Si(111) substrates with molecular beam epitaxy. We did structure analysis, magnetic domain analysis and magnetic properties evaluation with XRD, MFM and VSM, respectively. Among the series of films of 0.4nm Co layer, XRD showed that the film of 1.0nm Pt layer had a highest periodicity and that they had (111) plane orientation completely. The magnetic domain size reduced with the increase of the thickness of Pt layer. We found out that the coercivity decreased linearly as a function of the length of magnetic domain wall in the unit area. The result of VSM showed that the multi-layered films of Pt thickness of less than 2.8nm had perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. The perpendicular anisotropy energy changed by the nonmagnetic layer thickness and had a maximum value for 0.4nm Co 0.4nm/ nonmagnetic metal 1.0nm multi-layered film. After hydrogen implantation into the films, XRD showed that the lattice spacing was swelled with hydrogen dose. Also, MFM observed that the magnetic domain size reduced with the increase of the hydrogen dose. The easy axis of magnetization changed from perpendicular to parallel in the plane with the increase of the hydrogen dose. After evacuation of hydrogen at 473K, perpendicular anisotropy was partially recovered. This phenomenon suggested that the origin of magnetic anisotropy was mainly the lattice mismatch and distortion in the layer interface. But Co/Pd film was not recovered by this thermal treatment. This means that Pd made stable hydride and did not evacuate hydrogen at this temperature.

We investigate the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy dependence on the AlO capping layer in Pt/Co/AlO films. AlO was deposited on Pt/Co films by RF magnetron sputtering and atomic layer deposition (ALD) with varying thickness. It is found that the prolonged deposition of thick AlO layers by RF magnetron sputtering causes significant damage to the Pt/Co underneath while AlO layers formed by ALD can be of arbitrary thickness with no damage to the magnetic properties of the films. The decline of the magnetic properties can be attributed to the method of AlO deposition for each process. In the RF magnetron sputtering, AlO atoms with high kinetic energy are ejected from a sputter target resulting in the degradation of Pt/Co films, while the process of deposition of AlO by ALD is governed by a series of chemically reactive condensations allowing for arbitrary deposition thickness of AlO.

ABSTRACTA systematic study on magnetic properties of (Fc/Pt) compositionally-modulated films as a function of substrate-deposition-temperature has been carried out. For films with (2.5ÅFe/18ÅPt)×40, the intrinsic perpendicular magnetic anisotropy Ku is found to increase with decreasing temperature for all the sarmples deposited at temperatures from -114 °C to 220°C during deposition. The higher the substrate-deposition-temperature, the larger the Ku values become. This result implies a possible contribution from the magne to-elastic effect to the total anisotropy. However, a major part responsible for the perpendicular anisotropy may be found in other mechanisms. The saturation magnetization is found to exceed the value for pure Fe at temperatures lower than 180K.
