  • An artificially modulated magnetic Co/Pd multilayer is one of the promising candidates for high density magneto-optic (MO) recording media, due to a large Kerr rotation angle in the wavelength of a blue laser beam. However, since multilayer structure, as well as amorphous structure, is a non-equilibrium state in terms of free energy and a MO recording technology is a kind of thermal recording which is conducted around Curie temperature (Tc) of the recording media, when the Co/Pd mulilayer is used for the MO recording media, changes in the magnetic properties are occurred as the amorphous structure do. Therefore, the assessment of the magnetic properties in the Co/Pd multilayer during interdiffusion is crucially important both for basic research and applications. As the parameter of the magnetic properties in this research, saturation magnetization and perpendicular magnetic anisotropy energy of the Co/Pd multilayer are measured in terms of Ar sputtering pressure and heat treatment temperature. Form the results of the research, we find out that the magnetic exchange energy between Co and Pd sublayers strongly affects the changes in the magnetic properties of the Co/Pd multilayers during the interdiffusion in ferromagnetic state. This discovery will provide the understanding of the magnetic exchange energy in the Co/Pd multilayer structure and suggest the operating temperature range for MO recording in the Co/Pd multilayer for the basic research and applications, respectively.

As the parameter of the thermal stability in this research, effective interdiffusion coefficients (Deff) perpendicular to the interface of the Co/Pd multilayers are measured in terms of Ar sputtering pressure and heat treatment temperature. From the results of the research, we find out that the magnetic exchange energy between Co and Pd sublayers strongly affects Deff of the Co/Pd multilayers. This discovery will provide the understanding of the magnetic exchange energy in the effective interdiffusion process of a magnetic multilayer structure and suggest the operating temperature range for MO recording in the Co/Pd multilayer for the basic research and applications, respectively.

  • 비정질 합금인 CoSiB과 비자성체 Pd을 이용하여 CoSiB/Pd 다층박막을 제작하고, 그 자기적인 특성을 분석하였다. $[CoSiB\;t_{CoSiB}/Pd\;1.3nm]_5$ 다층박막을 $t_{CoSiB}$ = 0.1~0.6 nm의 범위로 제작하였고, 동일한 방법으로 $[CoSiB\;0.3nm/Pd\;t_{Pd}]_5$ 다층박막을 $t_{Pd}$ = 1.0~1.6 nm의 범위로 제작하여 두께에 따른 자기이방성과 포화자화도를 측정하였다. CoSiB 두께가 증함에 따라 포화자화도가 증가하는 경향을 보였는데, 특히 CoSiB의 두께가 0.2~0.3 nm 일 때 포화자화도가 급격하게 증가하였다. 보자력은 두께 0.2 nm 에서 최대값을 보이다가 두께가 증가함에 따라 점차 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. Pd의 두께 변화 실험에서는 포화자화도는 1.1~1.2 nm 구간에서 약간 감소하다가 1.3 nm 이후 점차 증가하였으며, 보자력은 포화자화도에 비해 확연한 규칙성을 보이지 않았으나, 전체적으로 Pd의 두께가 증가함에 따라 값이 감소하는 것을 알 수 있었다.

  • We report the experimental finding that there exists a transition of magnetization reversal process with varying the applied field in Co/Pd multilayer. We have measured the wall-motion speed V and the nucleation rate R during magnetization reversal via time-resolved direct domain observation, where the magnetization reversal process of Co/Pd multilayer is found to take a transition from thermal activation process to viscous process at the critical field of about 1.87 H$\_$C/ (coercivity). In the thermal activation regime, we find that the field dependences of two activation volumes for the wall-motion process and the nucleation process are different with each other, which reveals that the wall-motion and nucleation experience completely different interactions. In the viscous regime, we find that the wall-mobility is much smaller than a typical value for the sandwiched Co films, which implies that the Co/Pd interfaces in multilayer substantially contribute to the dynamic dissipation.

  • Co/Pd 다층막을 이용한 수직자기터널접합에서 Co 전극 및 Co, Pd 다층막의 두께변화가 터널링 자기저항비에 미치는 영향에 대해 조사하였다. Co 전극의 경우 0.5nm 두께 부근에서 최대 자기저항비 값을 얻을 수 있었으며, 이는 터널배리어층 부근의 계면영역이 터널링 스핀분극에 주요한 역할을 하기 때문으로 보인다. 다층막내의 Co층의 두께가 증가함에 따라 자기저항비는 다소 복잡한 거동을 나타내었으며, 이는 Co층의 두께 증가에 따른 수직자기이방성의 변화와 계면거칠기 감소에 따른 접합저항의 감소가 복합적으로 작용하기 때문이다. Pd층의 경우 Co층과는 달리 자기저항변화(${\Delta}R$)감소가 자기저항비의 거동에 영향을 주었으며, 이는 비자성층인 Pd층의 증가에 따라 스핀산란이 증가하기 때문이다.

  • FeCo/Pd 초격자 다층박막의 FeCo 와 Pd sublayer 두께를 각각 $2.5\;{\AA}$$10.5\;{\AA}$으로 유지시키면서 FeCo sublayer 의 Fe 조성이 0에서 100% 까지 변화함에따른 포화자화값, 수직 자기이방성에너지, 보자력 및 Kerr 회전각의 파장 의존성을 조사 하였다. 포화자화값은 Fe 조성이 48 at.%부근에서 최 고치를 보였고, 수직 자기이방성에너 및 조자력은 Fe조성의 증가에따라 단조감소 하였다. Kerr 회전각은 Fe 조성의 증가에따라 감소하였는데 그 크기 및 변화의 폭은 단파장으로 갈수록 증가하였다.

  • 본 연구는 (pd/Co)$_{N}$FeMn 구조의 다층박막을 dc 마그네트론 스퍼터링 시스템으로 증착하여 교환결합된 수직이방성에 대한 자기적 특성과 열적안정성을 조사하였다. 반강자성 FeMn 두께를 0-2lnm에서 변화시키면서 측정한 결과 Ta(1.9 nm)/(Pd(0.8nm)/Co(0.8nm)$_{5}$Mn(15nm)/Ta(1.9nm)에서 127 Oe교환바이어스세기(exchange biasing field: H$_{ex}$)를 얻었다. 그리고 이 구조에서 열적 안정성을 조사하기 위하여 온도 변화에 따른 H$_{ex}$변화를 확인한 결과, 24$0^{\circ}C$까지는 H$_{ex}$가 115 Oe에서 195 Oe까지 증가하였고, 그 이후 33$0^{\circ}C$에서 교환 결합된 수직자기이방성 곡선이 사라지는 것을 관찰하였다.
