Abstract
The structure and magnetic properties of ultra-thin Fe spacer layers i n epitaxially sputter-deposited Fe/Ni(0 0 1) multilayers are studied u sing X-ray diffraction and squid magnetometry, and compared to those o f similarly deposited Fe/Ni81Fe19(0 0 1) multilayers. In both systems, the Fe layers undergo a similar sequence of structural changes with i ncreasing Fe thickness, from a distorted FCC(0 0 1) phase, to a nearly relaxed FCC(0 0 1) phase, to a BCC(0 1 1) phase with concomitant chan ges in magnetic properties, (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
