Abstract

In this paper reported the results of our investigation of the temperature dependence of magnetization and magnetic anisotropy of single crystalline CoFe/sub 2/O/sub 4/ films and CoFe/sub 2/O/sub 4//CoFe/sub 2/ bilayers, determined by vibrating sample magnetometry and torque magnetometry, respectively; and the related structure and microstructure as determined by X-ray diffraction and atomic force microscopy.
