Exchange Anisotropy in Epitaxial and Polycrystalline NiO/NiFe Bilayers
R. P. Michel, A. Chaiken, C. T. Wang +1
(001) oriented NiO/NiFe bilayers were grown on single crystal MgO (001) substrates by ion beam sputtering in order to determine the effect that the crystalline orientation of the N…
NiO Exchange Bias Layers Grown by Direct Ion Beam Sputtering of a Nickel Oxide Target
Richard P. Michel, A. Chaiken, Young K. Kim +1
A new process for fabricating NiO exchange bias layers has been developed. The process involves the direct ion beam sputtering (IBS) of a NiO target. The process is simpler than ot…
Soft X-ray Fluorescence Study of Buried Silicides in Antiferromagnetically Coupled Fe/Si Multilayer
J. A. Carlisle, A. Chaiken, R. P. Michel +4
Soft x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy has been employed to obtain information about the Si-derived valence band states of Fe/Si multilayers. The valence band spectra are quite diffe…
Magnetic Properties of Epitaxial and Polycrystalline Fe/Si Multilayers
A. Chaiken, R. P. Michel, C. -T. Wang
Fe/Si multilayers with antiferromagnetic interlayer coupling have been grown via ion-beam sputtering on both glass and single-crystal substrates. High-angle x-ray diffraction measu…
Structure and Magnetism of Fe/Si Multilayers Grown by Ion-Beam Sputtering
A. Chaiken, R. P. Michel, M. A. Wall
Ion-beam sputtering has been used to prepare Fe/Si multilayers on a variety of substrates and over a wide range of temperatures. Small-angle x-ray diffraction and transmission elec…
