Structure and magnetism of MnGe thin films grown with a nonmagnetic CrSi template
B. D. MacNeil, J. S. R. McCoombs, D. Kalliecharan +7
We report a method to grow B20 MnGe thin films using molecular-beam epitaxy, which employs an ultrathin CrSi template layer on Si(111). This layer is expected to be nonmagnetic, in…

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…
