Ferromagnetic resonance in a system of magnetic films with different Curie temperatures

Abstract

The peculiarities of absorption of rf electromagnetic radiation (ferromagnetic resonance) in multilayer NiFe/Ni_0.65Cu_0.35(d)/CoFe structures in a wide temperature range are analyzed. It is shown that the type of interaction of the NiFe and CoFe ferromagnetic films via a “weak” ferromagnetic Ni_0.65Cu_0.35 interlayer changes from antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic upon cooling and a decrease in interlayer thickness d. The detected temperature dependence of the interlayer interaction indicates the possibility of observation of a strong magnetocaloric effect in the structures under investigation.
