Abstract
Superlattice structures and interlayer coupling between Co layers in Co/Ir superlattices were investigted. Co/Ir(001) superlattices were growth by means of an MBE system. X-ray diffraciton patterns show that the superlattices have good coherncy, good periodicity and low interdiffusion between Co and Ir layers. The easy axis of magnetization of the superlattices was parallel to <110> in the plane. Ir-thickness-dependent interlayer coupling was observed even at an Ir thickness of 5Å, and showed unperiodial oscillation. This anomalous oscillation could be considered as the result of multiperiodicity of the interlayer coupling in the Co/Ir(001) superlattice.
