Magnetic, Electronic, and Thermal Properties of Magnetic Multilayers

Abstract

We report on research done on magnetic multilayers. We studied a variety of fundamental problems including: (1) Phase transitions, here we investigated how two different magnetic materials layered together could result in a new material with unique thermal and magnetic properties. (2) Here we studied the effect of a mixing region in the Giant Magnetoresistance Effect (GMR). We showed that the theory could describe experimental results well. (3) We also studied the spin wave spectrum of magnetic multilayers and saw how the spin waves could be used to characterize the exchange coupling between different materials. Possible applications include the use of high frequency spin waves in signal processing at the 10-30 GHz range.
