Abstract

Magnetic interactions in Co–Ni–P multilayers consisting of alternating magnetically soft and magnetically hard layers are experimentally investigated. The variation in the shape of magnetization loops at the conjugation of magnetically soft and magnetically hard layers and the saturation field oscillations with varying number of layer pairs are established. It is demonstrated that insertion of a nonmagnetic spacer significantly affects the magnetization reversal in the structure. It is concluded that in studying the interlayer coupling it is necessary to take into account the biquadratic interaction.
