Effect of the interplay between layering sequence permutations and thickness on the magnetic features of Fe/Ni/Gd hetero-films

Abstract

The effect of the interplay between layering sequence permutations and film thickness on the temperature-dependent magnetization and spin structure of Fe/Ni/Gd hetero-films (sizes: 10 nm × 10 nm × d nm and 20 nm × 20 nm × d nm, where d is the film thickness and with all possible layer sequence permutations) is investigated in the framework of an atomistic spin dynamics formalism.
