Abstract

The structure, composition, and magnetic characteristics of thin films multilayers of iron-iron nitride with high magnetic moment and very low coercive field are investigated. The present study together with previous ones that described in detail the magnetic properties lead to the establishment of certain requirements to obtain iron-iron nitride multilayers with outstanding magnetic characteristics.
