Abstract

Epitaxial Co/Mn superlattices (0.6 to 4.8 nm thick Co) have been grown on (0002) hcp Ru buffer layer on mica substrates. The face centered cubic (fcc) phase of cobalt is stabilized by the very thin manganese layer. The structural properties of these layers have been studied through x ray diffraction and nuclear magnetic resonance.
