Ferromagnetic resonance studies of electrodeposited Ni/Cu multilayers
The magnetic properties of Ni/Cu multilayers, prepared by the electrodeposition technique, have been systematically studied by magnetic measurements and ferromagnetic resonance (FMR). The Ni thickness dependence of the magnetization and magnetic anisotropy is discussed. The FMR spectra were obtained with an applied magnetic held parallel and perpendicular to the film plane at 300 K. The FMR linewidth of the granular multilayer is rather broad, which is attributed to some roughness. From FMR, a positive Value for Ni/Cu interface anisotropy has been obtained.
