摘要：
The structural and magnetic properties of tau-MnAl alloy films are Studied. The films are derived by annealing from Mn/Al multilayers. tau-MnAl appears when the annealing temperature increases up to 350 degrees C, but decomposes into gamma(2)-MnAl and beta-Mn at 500 degrees C annealing. Good magnetic properties are obtained after 400-450 degrees C annealing. Furthermore. tau-MnAl forms in the Mn-Al interface. The saturation magnetization M-S increases first with the thickness of Mn (or Al) layers, and then decreases in inverse proportion to that of Mn (or Al) layers. The turning point implies that the thickness of tau-MnAl is no more than 5 nm in the Mn60Al40 films. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
