Se. Lofland et al., SPIN REORIENTATION TRANSITION DUE TO THICKNESS RATIO VARIATION IN EUBI2FE5O12 Y3FE5O12 MULTILAYER FILMS - FERRIMAGNETIC RESONANCE STUDIES/, Journal of applied physics, 83(7), 1998, pp. 3750-3753
We present the results of an investigation into ferrimagnetic resonanc
e at room temperature in superlattice heterostructures with alternatin
g layers of Y3Fe5O12 and EuBi2Fe5O12 grown by pulsed-laser deposition,
We find that in the Y3Fe5O12 layer, the spins always prefer to lie in
the plane. In the EuBi2Fe5O12 layer, on the other hand, the spin dire
ction switches from normal to the film plane to in-plane as its thickn
ess falls below that of the Y3Fe5O12 layer. (C) 1998 American Institut
