Abstract

The effects of changing the spacer layer material, underlayer material, layer thickness, and roughness of interfaces on the magnetization reversal and structure of Py/Cu/Py and Py/Au/Py magnetic multilayer thin films were examined. The magnetic domain structure of the films was studied by Lorentz transmission electron microscopy, and the in situ magnetization by transmission electron microscopy. The results of depositing magnetic thin films using the closed-field unbalanced magnetron sputter ion plating are discussed.
