Thermal stability of Co/Si/W/Si multilayers

The thermal stability of Co/Si/W/Si multilayers (MLs) was investigated by X-ray diffraction and reflectivity, magnetization and magnetoresistance experiments. The Co/Si/W/Si ML with Co layers 2.1 nm thick persists up to 850°C/30 s annealing without change of the ML period. The increased stability is...

Description
Summary:The thermal stability of Co/Si/W/Si multilayers (MLs) was investigated by X-ray diffraction and reflectivity, magnetization and magnetoresistance experiments. The Co/Si/W/Si ML with Co layers 2.1 nm thick persists up to 850°C/30 s annealing without change of the ML period. The increased stability is correlated with the absence of magnetic Co phase and with the presence of amorphous Co-Si mixture formed during the deposition.
