Abstract:
Sputtered {15nm Fe/600nm Tb(Fe0.55C0.45) 1.5/15nm Fe} sandwich films have been
investigated by X-ray diffraction, magnetostriction and M??ssbauer measurements. A perpendicular
anisotropy is evidenced from the magnetostriction data for both as-deposited and 450?C-annealed films. The
M??ssbauer spectra are fitted with two contributions. The magnetisation of the TbFeCo layer is orientated
out of the film plane, whereas that of the Fe layers tends to be in the plane. The enhancement of the
coercivity is attributed to the top TbFeCo/Fe interface. ?? 2003 Published by Elsevier B.V.
