Perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in [Co2FeSi/Pt]n multilayer films without annealing
摘要
The mechanisms underlying perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) and the anomalous Hall effect (AHE) were systematically investigated in [Co₂FeSi (tCFS)/Pt]ₙ multilayer films. These films were fabricated by magnetron sputtering with varying Co₂FeSi layer ranging from 0.4 to 1.2 nm, as well as different cycle numbers for the [Co₂FeSi/Pt]n structure (n = 1–7). When n = 4 and the Co₂FeSi layer is 0.6 nm thick, the multilayer films exhibit optimal PMA characteristics, with a magnetic anisotropy energy density Keff of 1.83 × 106 erg/cm3. By tuning the cycle number, the PMA strength reaches its maximum at n = 6, where Keff attains a value of 2.10 × 106 erg/cm3. Moreover, the longitudinal resistivity
