Fe/FeO/Fe/FeV Multilayers Characterized by Magnetometry and Polarized Neutron Reflectometry

We use argon ion-bombardment during Fe layer deposition as a way to tailor the structural and magnetic properties of bilayer and multilayer systems containing Fe/FeV components. We present structural and magnetic results on Fe/FeV bilayer and Fe/Fe-oxide/Fe/FeV multilayer systems. Magnetization measurements were taken over a range of temperatures and show the expected ferromagnetic behavior for th...
