Magnetic properties and thermal stability of Co/HfN multilayer films for high-frequency application

Sputtered metal–nonmetal granular films tend to exhibit growth-induced perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. In this work, Co/HfN multilayers were synthesized to suppress the development of columnar clusters along the deposition direction. The results reveal that a HfN interlayer thickness of less than...
