Abstract

  We developed ferrimagnetic [Co(0.5)/Gd(1)/Pt(1)]N (unit: nm) multilayers with structural inversion symmetry breaking and investigated the dependence of magnetic properties and magnetic domain structures on the repetition number (N = 1 – 50). The magnetization compensation temperature increases as N increases, and saturates at around 210 K for N ≥ 20. All films with various repetition number possess the out-of-plane magnetic easy axis, and multi domain structure at the remanence state was observed in the film with N = 50. These results show that the magnetic properties of the ferrimagnetic Co/Gd/Pt multilayers can be tuned by the repetition number.
