Description

We have elaborated by MBE, Ho/Zr multilayers in which holmium crystallographic parameters are considerably reduced compared to bulk. We correlate magnetoresistance measurements with the magnetization under very high magnetic field. We point out a sharp magnetic transition due to the closing of the conical or helical configurations as in bulk material. This effect disappears for the lower thicknesses of Ho layers and the transition field changes with the magnetic coupling through the zirconium layers. ((orig.))
