摘要
An effect of the Ir content and sputtering conditions of Mn-Ir films on the strength of exchange anisotropy was investigated in Ni-Fe/Mn-Ir layers fabricated under the extremely clean sputtering process. We found that the unidirectional anisotropy constant J(K) monotonously increased with increasing the Ir content and decreasing the deposition rate of Mn-Ir films. The change of J(K) against the deposition late of Mn-Ir films Is possibly caused by the quite slight changes of the microstructure of Mn-Ir films, which were undetectable with XRD.
