Abstract

Fe/Cu multilayered films prepared by means of Facing Targets Sputtering have distinct multilayered structure at layer thicknesses above 7Å. The saturation magnetization of Fe in the multilayered film takes almost the bulk thicknesses Fe value above this thickness. However, multilayerd structures did not clearly form at layer thicknesses below 7Å and the saturation magnetization decreased to about half of the bulk value. Considerable variation of confirmed layer thickness, saturation magnetization and coercivity in the multilayerd films were obtained when the total thickness was below 1000Å.
