Abstract
The structure and magnetic properties of Fe/Ru (001) multilayers are studied using x-ray diffraction, magneto-optical Kerr-effect magnetometry, and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism. The Fe layer thickness is maintained constant at 7.5 Å, while the nominal Ru layer thickness t Ru is variable. For t Ru< 3.5 Å, the multilayer has a body-centered- tetragonal structure with a perpendicular lattice constant that varies linearly with Ru thickness. In this region, the Fe has a bulklike magnetic moment. The Ru has a ...
