Description

Helicon plasma sputtering method has been used to grown the Fe/Si multilayer (MLs) with various thickness of Silicon spacer around 0.5 ∼ 2nm for Fe thickness fixed at 2nm in order to investigated the anti ferromagnetic coupling behaviour. Also we grown the MLs with varius Fe thickness around 2-5nm for Silicon spacer fixed at tsi =1nm and 1.5nm. Present study found that in case of Silicon spacer thickness tsi =1nm multilayer film exhibit anti ferromagnetically ordering, beside this thickness the MLs are ferromagnetic. The maximum magnetoresistance ratio is 0.22%, it appears at the Fe thickness tFe =3nm and Si thickness tsi =1nm
