Perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in amorphous ferromagnetic CoSiB/Pt multilayers

Abstract:
Magnetic anisotropy properties of amorphous ferromagnetic CoSiB/Pt multilayers with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA, K(u)) were systematically investigated as a function of CoSiB layer thickness (t(coSiB)) and Pt layer thickness (t(Pt)). In two series of [CoSiB t(coSiB)Pt t(P1)]5 multilayers, the perpendicular coercivity (H(c)) increased to reach a maximum and then decreased with further increase in both t(coSiB) and t(Pt), due to intermixing of CoSiB/Pt interfaces. Particularly, using the amorphous soft magnetic CoSiB, the coercivity became very sensitive to the CoSiB thickness. These multilayer films exhibited a high K(u) of 2 x 10(6) erg/cc and a high H(c) of 360 Oe with marked squareness. It was found that even after annealing at 350 degrees C, the CoSiB/Pt multilayers had a high PMA and their H(c) increased.

Magnetic Susceptibility and Permeability
When diamagnetic materials are placed under an external magnetic field, the moments opposite to the field are induced. Hence, the susceptibility for diamagnets has a minimal negative value of 10-5–10-6. Since...
