Abstract
Ultrathin Ag (0.5 nm) pinning layers (APLs) were symmetrically inserted into [Fe/Pt] bilayers to introduce controllable defects on the interfaces between Ag and Fe/Pt multilayers. The highest coercivity 7700 Oe and remanent squareness 0.95 were obtained with five APLs. The large enhancement in coercivity (75% increment compared with that without APL) is due to the relative uniform defects that introduced pinning effects on the interfaces between the APLs and Fe/Pt multilayers. According to the distribution of angule- dependent coercivity of Fe/Pt multilayers without and with APLs, a tendency is suggested of weakened domain-wall motion while enhanced rotation of reverse domain mode.
