FMR measurements on CoCr/NiFe double layers

CoCr/NiFe double layers were measured by ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) for different angles of the applied field. Several resonance curves were observed for CoCr, which are attributed to the different layers of a magnetically stratified CoCr. This was investigated by carrying out FMR measurements on a single CoCr sample and removing successive layers by ion beam milling. The origin of some of the curves is still unclear. One resonance curve is attributed to the top or bulk layer and another to the initial layer. Stress was discovered to have an important influence on the resonance peaks.<
