Ultrathin Co films with Pt and Au covers-magnetic and structural properties driven by Ga+ ion irradiation
Original language description
The X/Co 3 nm/Y (where X, Y = Au, Pt) trilayers with as deposited in-plane magnetization alignment were irradiated with 30 keV Ga+ ions in the wide range of ion fluence. The samples were investigated by means of complementary techniques: magneto-optical magnetometry and spectroscopy (in the photon energy range from 1.2 eV to 4.5 eV), magnetic force microscopy, positron annihilation spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction and reflectivity. Difference in miscibility of interface atoms is clearly manifested in various intermixing extent at Co/Pt and Co/Au interfaces and consequently in magnetic properties of the irradiated trilayers. Low irradiation fluence (similar to 10(14) ions cm(-2)) leads to similar to 1 nm interfaces broadening without visible surface etching for all samples, which is related with a distinct drop of magnetic anisotropy. However, the high irradiation fluence (similar to 5 x 10(15) ions cm(-2)) results in enhanced interface broadening and significant surface etching (similar to 5 nm) partially removing also Co atoms. Tensile strains (up to 0.5%) were developed in the cover layers. The tensile strain, layers intermixing and the creation of Co-Pt(Au) alloys with different composition formed by irradiation are correlated with the increase of magnetic anisotropy. Moreover it was observed that substitution of Au instead of Pt (as a cap or buffer layer) results in substantial increase of perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. Maximal increase of magnetooptical parameters was observed for Pt/Co/Pt layer. Irradiation induced changes of concentration profiles are revealed using magnetooptical spectra, x-ray reflectivity spectra and simulations with use of binary collision approximation.
