  • The reflection-amplitude approximation is used to calculate the interlayer exchange coupling in (001) Co/Cu/Co multilayers. The dependence of the phase factor of the reflection amplitude on the energy and wave vector is included. The contribution of each period is calculated and the results are compared with those from the asymptotic behavior. It is shown that the energy and wave-vector dependence of the phase factor may affect the interlayer exchange coupling significantly.

  • Micromagnetics 전산 모사를 이용하여 국소적 층간교환상호작용이 있는 강자성/비자성/강자성 다층박막 구조에서 Bloch 자벽이나 Neel 자벽보다 더 얇은 두께의 자벽이 인위적으로 형성될 수 있음을 보였고, 이때 생성된 좁은 자벽의 두께가 강자성층의 두께에 의해 영향을 받음을 보였다. 국소적 층간교환상호작용을 가진 $Fe_1/Cr/Fe_2$ 구조에서 좁은 자벽이 생성됨을 보였고, $Fe_2$ 층의 두께를 20nm로 고정시키고 $Fe_1$층의 두께를 각각 1, 2, 4, 6nm으로 변화시켜가며 전산 모사를 수행하여 $Fe_1$ 층의 두께가 감소함에 따라 자벽의 두께가 얇아짐을 확인하였다.

  • NiO thickness dependences of perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) in the $NiO/[CoFe/Pt]_5$ multilayers for exchange biasing and $[CoFe/Pt]_4/Pt/[CoFe/Pt]_4$ for interlayer exchange coupling were investigated. Perpendicular magnetization curve was obtained by out-of-plane extraordinary Hall measurement. Magnetic force microscopy (MFM) has been used for the investigation of magnetic domains on thin films. We confirmed that the interlayer exchange coupling (IEC) as a function of NiO thickness at room temperature existed with a period of two monolayers.

  • The oscillatory interlayer exchange coupling (IEC) has been shown in pinned $[CoFe/Pt(t_{pt})/CoFe]/IrMn$ multi-layers with perpendicular anisotropy. The period of oscillation corresponds to about 2 monolayers of Pt. The oscillatory behavior of IEC depending on the nonmagnetic metallic Pt thickness is thought to be related the antiferromagnetic ordering induced by IrMn layer. Oscillatory IEC as function of insulating NiO thickness has been observed in $[Pt/CoFe]_4/NiO(t_{NiO})/[CoFe/Pt]_4$ multilayers. The effect of N (number of bilayer repeats) upon the magnetic property of [Pt/CoFe]N/IrMn is also studied.

  • As deposited and annealed MTJs with the structure of $Ta(5 nm)/Cu(10 nm)/Ta(5 nm)/Ni_{80}Fe_{20}(2 nm)/Cu(5 nm)/ Ir_{25}Mn_{75}(10 nm)/Co_{70}Fe_{30}(2.5 nm)/Al-O/Co_{70}Fe_{30}(2.5nm)/Ni_{80}Fe_{20}(t)/Ta(5nm)/Ni_{80}Fe_{20}(t)/Ta(5 nm)$, where t=10, 30, 60 and 100 nm were characterized by XRD and magnetic hysteresis loops measurements. The XRD measurements were done in grazing incidence $(GID scan-2{\theta})$ and ${\theta}-2{\theta}$ geometry, by rocking curve $(scan-{\omega})$ and pole figures in order to establish correlation between texture and crystallites size and magnetic parameters of exchange biased and interlayer coupling. The variations of shifting and coercivity field of free and pinned layers after annealing in $300^{\circ}C$ correlate with the improvement of [111] texture and grains size of $Ni_{80}Fe_{20}$ and $Ir_{25}Mn_{75}$ respectively. The exchange biased and the coercivity fields of the pinned layer linearly increased with increasing grain size of $Ir_{25}Mn_{75}$, The reciprocal proportionality between interlayer coupling and coercivity fields of the free layer and grain size of $Ni_{80}Fe_{20}$ was found. The enhancement of interlayer coupling between pinned and free layers, after annealing treatment, indicates on the correlated in-phase roughness of dipolar interacting interfaces due to increase of crystallites size of $Ni_{80}Fe_{20}$.

  • In the present work exchange coupling between ultrathin Fe ($8{\AA}$) and Tb ($12{\AA}$) layers separated by Au spacer of varied thickness ($3-20{\AA}$) was studied. Anomalous Hall effect measurements showed weakly damped oscillating dependence of the Hall conductivity as a function of Au spacer thickness. Disagreement of the observed damping with the RKKY model of interlayer exchange coupling was explained by the influence of external magnetic field on the behaviour of exchange coupling oscillations. It was confirmed by Hall-like effect measurements at zero applied magnetic field and also illustrated by corresponding estimations.

  • 최근 자성 박막의 연구에 있어서 이웃한 두 자성체 층 간의 교환 상호 결합 작용(interlayer exchange coupling)은 매우 중요한 연구 분야중 하나이다. 80년대 말 처음 강한 층간 교환 상호 결합 작용이 발견된 이래로, 비자성 사이 층의 두께에 따라서 층간 교환 상호 작용이 요동하는 현상과 더불어서 소위 거대 자기 저항(giant magnetoresistance)이라고 불리는 현상의 발견은 자성 박막의 나노 시대를 열었다고 해도 과언이 아니었다. (중략)

  • Monte Carlo simulation was employed to study the phase transition in the classical Heisenberg ferromagnet with variable interlayer interactions. The measured transition temperatures show a strong logarithmic dependence on J/J'where J and J'are the intralayer and the interlayer exchange interaction, respectively. The results were compared with the theoretical expectations and an empirical formula for the critical coupling was stained.

  • DC/RF 마그네트론 스퍼터링 방법으로 Corning glass 위에 증착된 NiO/NiFe/Cu/NiFe 스핀밸브 박막에서 반강자성체 NiO와 강자성층 NiFe 사이의 교환결합력( $H_{ex}$)과 보자력( $H_{c}$), 그리고 두 NiFe 강자성층간의 사잇층 결합력( $H_{int}$)에 대해 고찰하였다. 사잇층 Cu의 두께증가에 따라 자성층간의 $H_{int}$는 서서히 감소하였고, $H_{ex}$는 거의 90 Oe로 일정한 값을 보였다. NiO와 교환 결합한 NiFe의 두께증가에 따라 $H_{ex}$는 감소하였으나, $H_{int}$는 80 Oe 까지 유지하다 감소하였다. 또한 NiO와 교환 결합되지 않은 NiFe 자성층의 두께 증가에 따라서는 $H_{ex}$의 값이 거의 변화하지 않았고, $H_{int}$는 두께에 따라 서서히 증가하는 결과를 보였다.결과를 보였다.를 보였다..
