Abstract Different types of roughness in magnetic multilayers can be distinguished with off-specular neutron scattering. We report on roughness originating from magnetic domains in Fe/Cr multilayers and on structural roughness being created at the Fe?Cr interfaces. The influence of these types of roughness on the GMR-effect is outlined. Author Keywords: Polarised neutron reflection; Non-collinear exchange coupling; GMR effect; Interface roughness; Magnetic domains Article Outline round bullet, filled References Enlarge Image (10K) Fig. 1. Scattering geometry for polarised neutrons from a Fe/Cr multilayer. Schematically, the sample composition is presented. The top figure shows only the magnetic moment components in the Fe-layers perpendicular to the external magnetic field H. The top view shows the magnetic moment in the domains of the top layer. The coupling angle curly or open small phi, Greek relates the magnetic moment of one magnetic layer (within a domain) with the magnetic moment of the adjacent Fe-layer(s). Enlarge Image (27K) Fig. 2.
