Influence of thickness variation on perpendicular magnetic anisotropy features of the [co/pt]n multilayer frame
Abstract:
We report the structural and magnetic properties of a [Co/Pt] multilayer matrix as a function of Pt thickness. Increasing Pt thickness allows for the formation of a well-aligned fcc (111) CoPt3 structure in a [Co/Pt]n multilayer geometry, where the clear appearance of main (111) peak of CoPt3 measured using the X-ray diffraction patterns was confirmed. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy images, along with the corresponding fast Fourier transform patterns displayed the ordered structure with clear 6-fold symmetric diffraction spots. The c/a lattice constant ratio of 0.949 was calculated by utilizing the XRD and, demonstrating the presence of a well-aligned CoPt3 structure. The Pt thickness-dependent saturation magnetization (M(s)) values for the in- and out-of-plane M-H hysteresis loops obtained by vibrating sample magnetometer measurements showed distinctly opposite trends. The increase in the out-of-plane M(s) value with increasing Pt thickness seems to originate from the enhanced perpendicular orbital moment of the proper CoPt3 structure.
