Vv. Ustinov et al., MAGNETOOPTICAL STUDY OF THE NONCOLLINEAR MAGNETIC-STRUCTURE OF FE CR SUPERLATTICES/, Journal of magnetism and magnetic materials, 156(1-3), 1996, pp. 179-180
The optical and magneto-optical properties of MBE-grown Fe/Cr superlat
tices on MgO(100) have been investigated. A new method based on measur
ements of the frequency and angular dependences of the equatorial MOKE
is suggested to define an initial angle theta(0) between the magnetic
moments of adjacent Fe layers. A non-collinear magnetic structure is
found to be formed in the explored Fe/Cr superlattices, with the magni
tude of theta(0) depending on the Cr layer thickness.
