The effective elastic constants of a single-crystal superlattice film have been determined by two methods based on the velocities of surface acoustic waves (SAW). One method uses formulas to calculate the effective elastic constants of a superlattice from the known elastic constants of the constituent layers. The calculated effective elastic constants are tested by comparing the corresponding SAW velocities calculated for thin-film/substrate systems with the corresponding SAW velocities measured by line-focus acoustic microscopy (LFAM). The other method determines the effective elastic constants of the superlattices by inverting the SAW velocity dispersion data measured by LFAM. The results of both methods applied to a TiN/NbN superlattice film are in good agreement.

We have investigated the effects of sputtering Ar gas pressure on magnetic and magneto-optical properties in compositionally modulated Co/Pt superlattice thin films. The samples were prepared by dc magnetron sputtering. Sputtrering Ar gas pressure was varied from 2 to 30 mTorr. The microstructure of the samples was examined by scanning electron microscope and the x-ray diffractometry. The magnetization, the Kerr rotation angle, and the reflectivity of the samples were measured. The columnar structure was developed, and the coercivity was drasti- cally increased, when the sputtering Ar gas pressure was higher than 20 mTorr. We explained that the variation of the magnetization, the Kerr rotation angle, and the reflectivity was related with the microstructure influenced by the variation of the Ar gas pressure.

We have investigated the dependence of the magnetization, anisotropy, coercivity, and Kerr rotation on the Fe concentration in FeCo/Pd multilayer thin films, where the Fe concentration in the FeCo sublayer varied between 0 and 100% with maintaining the same sublayer thickness of $2.5\;{\AA}$ FeCo and $10.5\;{\AA}$A Pd. The maximum saturation magnetization was observed at the Fe concentration of about 48at.% in the FeCo sublayer. Perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and coercivity of the FeCo/Pd multilayer thin film decreased monotonically with increasing the Fe con-centration. The Kerr rotation angle also decreased with increasing the Fe concentration and the amount of vari-ation was remarkably changed with decreasing the light wavelength.

[ $L1_0$ ]phase FePd nano-dot structures were successfully fabricated on self-organized Fe/Au bilayers. With atomic force microscopy, it is determined that surface morphologies of initially flat Fe/Au bilayer films were agglomerated and transformed their shape into nano-dots structures with increasing annealing temperature. With this bilayer as a template, FePd multilayers were deposited at various temperatures, i.e. $300^{\circ}C$, $350^{\circ}C$, $400^{\circ}C$, and $450^{\circ}C$. Surface morphologies of FePd superlattice had a near resemblance to self-organized bilayer. According to X-ray diffraction results, it is confirmed that $L1_0$ superlattice structures of FePd were obtained from samples which were annealed above $350^{\circ}C$. Results of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy depth-profile analysis showed that chemical composition is identical to deposition sequence. As a result, without additional etching processes, fabrication of chemically ordered FePd superlattice nano-dots was achieved.
