The magnetic properties of Ni-Fe (permalloy) monolayer and alternating
Ni-Fe/SiO2 multilayer thin films prepared by de sputtering have been
investigated. In the case of multilayer thin films the relative permea
bility at high frequencies is much improved, confirming the existence
of a magnetostatic coupling between the 0.2 mu m thin magnetic layers.
Also, the losses are lower and the permeability is stable up to 10 MH
