Abstract :
Trilayer films with two 25 nm thick SmCo5 films and intermediate Fe layer of thickness 6 nm and 16 nm have been prepared and compared with a single SmCo5 film of 50 nm thickness. Composition of the SmCo layers and individual layer thicknesses were determined by energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) at various acceleration voltages. The magnetic hysteresis measured along the SmCo5 [001] orientation is shown.
