Magnetooptical Kerr spectroscopy of Co/Pd layered structures

The DC sputtered Co/Pd multilayer structures (MILS) have been investigated using optical and magnetooptical spectroscopy at room temperature in the photon energy range 0.65-5 eV. The measured Co/Pd MLS polar Kerr rotation and ellipticity show the strong contribution of the Pd magnetooptical activity...

Description
Summary:The DC sputtered Co/Pd multilayer structures (MILS) have been investigated using optical and magnetooptical spectroscopy at room temperature in the photon energy range 0.65-5 eV. The measured Co/Pd MLS polar Kerr rotation and ellipticity show the strong contribution of the Pd magnetooptical activity. The magnetooptical response of the Co/Pd MLS has been simulated by multireflection calculation with magnetooptical Pd contribution. Good agreement between the observed and calculated Kerr spectra has been obtained.< >
