A review of uranium-based thin films
R. Springell, E. Lawrence Bright, D. A. Chaney +4
Thin films based on silicon and transition-metal elements dominate the semiconducting industry and are ubiquitous in all modern devices. Films have also been produced in the rare-e…
Magnetization reversal processes in ErFe2/YFe2 exchange spring multilayer studied by xray magnetic circular dichroism
G. B. G. Stenning, A. R. Buckingham, G. J. Bowden +6
X-ray magnetic circular dichroism at the Er M4,5 edge is used to study the switching behavior of the hard ErFe2 layers in an epitaxial [ErFe2(70Å)/YFe2 (150Å)]{\times}25 exchange-s…
Controllable modification of the anisotropy energy in Laves phase YFe2 by Ar+ ion implantation
A. R. Buckingham, G. J. Bowden, D. Wang +4
Implanted 3.25 keV Ar+ ions have been used to modify the in-plane bulk anisotropy in thin films of epitaxially grown Laves phase YFe2. The magneto optical Kerr effect, vibrating sa…
A study of uranium-based multilayers: II. Magnetic properties
R Springell, S W Zochowski, R C C Ward +7
SQUID magnetometry and polarised neutron reflectivity measurements have been employed to characterise the magnetic properties of U/Fe, U/Co and U/Gd multilayers. The field dependen…
A study of uranium-based multilayers: I. Fabrication and structural characterisation
R Springell, S W Zochowski, R C C Ward +7
This paper addresses the structural characterisation of a series of U/Fe, U/Co and U/Gd multilayers. X-ray reflectivity has been employed to investigate the layer thickness and rou…
Giant Magnetoresistance by Exchange Springs in DyFe/YFe Superlattices
S. N. Gordeev, J-M. L. Beaujour, G. J. Bowden +5
Magnetization and magnetoresistance measurements are reported for antiferromagnetically coupled DyFe/YFe multilayers in fields up to 23 T. We demonstrate that the formation…
