Abstract

The Rayleigh acoustic waves of sputter-deposited Cu/Co, Ag/Pd and Cu/Pd sup-erlattice films were studied using Brillouin scattering. All three of these systems are fcc/fcc superlattices. The dependence of the Rayleigh wave velocities for these films on the superlattice modulation wavelength is discussed.
