Multilayer structures of the iron/chromium type with almost ideal interfaces in an external magnetic field

摘要

The magnetic phase diagram of the Fe/Cr/Fe three-layer structure with almost ideal interlayer boundaries was constructed. The effective interlayer interaction in this structure was described by the "half-angle coupling" model. Various system configurations were analyzed taking into account crystalline anisotropy, and the ground state of the system was determined. The behavior of the structure in an external magnetic field applied along easy and hard magnetic axes was studied. The magnetization curves M(H) characteristic of structures with various interface roughness parameter and interlayer exchange values were described and analyzed. The experimental situation is discussed. (C) 2005 Pleiades Publishing, Inc.
