We study the influence of interface effects on the magnetostatic modes propagating in a coupled ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic bilayer. We assume that the magnetic layers are thick enough to be described by the bulk parameters and they are coupled through the interaction between the magnetic...

The magnetization distribution, its energetic characterization by the interlayer coupling constants and lattice dynamics of (001)-oriented Fe/Pt multilayers are investigated using density functional theory combined with the direct method to determine phonon frequencies. It is found that...

We report on room temperature ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) studies of [ t Co|2t Ni]  × N sputtered films, where 0.1 ≤ t ≤ 0.6 nm. Two series of films were investigated: films with the same number of Co|Ni bilayer repeats (N=12), and samples in which the overall magnetic layer thickness...

Within the framework of two-dimensional (2D) numerical micromagnetic simulations, the equilibrium magnetization configuration and the high-frequency (0.1–30 GHz) linear response of Co/Fe multilayers have been investigated in detail. Due to the perpendicular anisotropy of Co layers, a stripe...

We investigate the stability of various ordered FeNi alloys at the interfaces of Fe/Ni superlattices by using ab initio density functional calculation. We consider an Fe<Subscript>0.5</Subscript>Ni<Subscript>0.5</Subscript> ordered alloy of one or two monolayers thick at different positions beyond the interface and the possibility of an...</subscript></subscript>
