Jh. Kim et Sc. Shin, LOGARITHMIC DEPENDENCE OF THE SURFACE ANISOTROPY ON THE LOW-ANGLE X-RAY-DIFFRACTION INTENSITY IN CO-BASED MULTILAYERS, Thin solid films, 301(1-2), 1997, pp. 249-252
We have investigated the dependence of the surface anisotropy on the i
nterfacial microstructure in Co/Pd and Co/Pt multilayers prepared by s
puttering. The interfacial microstructure of multilayers was manipulat
ed by changing sputtering Ar gas pressure in the preparation of sample
s. The surface anisotropy of Co/Pd and Co/Pt multilayers was sensitive
ly dependent on the interfacial microstructural modification and the s
urface anisotropy of those multilayers was found to be logarithmically
dependent on the integrated low-angle X-ray diffraction intensity.
