Magnetic switching modes for exchange spring systems ErFe2/YFe2/DyFe2/YFe2 with competing anisotropies
The magnetization reversal processes of [10 nm ErFe2 / n YFe2 / 4 nm DyFe2 / n YFe2] multilayer films with a (1 1 0) growth axis and a variable YFe2 layer thickness n are investigated. The magnetically soft YFe2 compound acts as a separator between the hard rare earth (RE) ErFe2 and DyFe2 compounds,...
