Abstract

An analysis was carried out of the mechanism underlying magnetic interlayer interaction in film structures. The investigation was based on the assumption that interlayer bonding affects film hysteresis. This was based on experimental data on the coercive force, the domain structure parameters, and the microstructure of Fe19Ni81/Cr/Fe19Ni81 and Fe15Co20Ni65/Cr/Fe15Co20Ni65 films. Theoretical estimates show that, as the thickness of the Cr interlayer increases, the exchange interaction between the ferromagnetic layers can be replaced by the magnetostatic interaction whose effectiveness is determined by surface irregularities and layer ‘magnetization ripples’.
