摘要
The magnetic properties of sputtered RE-TM(CoGd)/Pd multilayered films were studied. CoGd layers with high Gd concentration were amorphous. Reducing the Gd concentration, CoGd layers changed from amorphous to crystalline gradually. Like in the crystalline Co/Pd multilayered films, perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) was observed only for CoGd/Pd multilayered films with thin magnetic layer. It is interesting to note that the critical magnetic layer thickness, below which the easy magnetization axis is perpendicular to the film plane, reaches 2.5 nm for CoGd/Pd multilayered films with amorphous CoGd layers and is larger than that of Co/Pd multilayered films. The PMA energy density of CoGd layers was much higher than that of amorphous CoGd films. These results are discussed in terms of the perpendicular magnetization mechanism in amorphous CoGd films as well as of interface magnetic anisotropy.
